∙ 15y agoIt will definitely float.
it's all about density. Density= weight/volume
D= 157/412=0.38 g/cm3 < 1 g/cm3 for water.
It will not only float, but also, will float more than half of the material above the water.

∙ 14y agoYes, the wood would float in water because its density is less than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). Objects with a density less than that of water will float, while objects with a density greater than that of water will sink.

The sinking depth of a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds will depend on the density of the material it is floating in. If the density of the material is less than the density of the cubic foot, it will float. However, if the density of the material is greater, it will sink until the weight of the displaced material equals the weight of the cubic foot.
No, cubes do not float better in water than spheres. Objects float based on their density and volume, not their shape. If a cube and a sphere have the same density and volume, they will float in water in the same manner.
The density of the block is mass/volume = 455g / 600cm^3 = 0.758 g/cm^3. Since the density of freshwater is around 1 g/cm^3, the block will float in freshwater because its density is less than that of water.
To answer this you need to know the density of Olive oil and the density of the plastic.Olive oil has a density of between 0.8 - and 0.92 at standard room temperatures (you can look this up on the web).Your plastic object has a volume of 4 times 2 times 3 = 24 cubic centimeters and weighs 19.2 grams.One cubic centimeter of the plastic would therefore weigh 19.2 divided by 24 = 0.8 and this value is also its density (grams per cc).Thus the answer is that the plastic would float on the dense type of Olive oil but would be neutrally buoyant in the less dense types.
To find the density of floating objects, you need to measure the mass of the object and the volume of water it displaces when floating. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass of the object by the volume of water displaced.
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.
You can predict if an object will sink or float by comparing its density to the density of the liquid it is placed in. If the object's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the liquid's density, it will float.
The sinking depth of a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds will depend on the density of the material it is floating in. If the density of the material is less than the density of the cubic foot, it will float. However, if the density of the material is greater, it will sink until the weight of the displaced material equals the weight of the cubic foot.
Yes, you can use the density of the object to predict whether it will sink or float in water. If the density of the object is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), it will sink. If the object's density is less than the density of water, it will float.
No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
The density of water is typically determined by dividing the mass of water by its volume. The density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter, or 1000 kilograms per cubic meter at standard temperature and pressure.
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
Mass and volume are related to the sinking and floating of an object through their density. An object will sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid it is placed in, and will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid. The relationship can be expressed as density = mass/volume.
Yes, an object will float if its volume is greater than its mass, as this means its density is less than that of the fluid it is in. This creates a buoyant force that is greater than the force of gravity acting on the object, causing it to float.
It would depend on the density of the wood. If the density of the wood is less than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then it will float. If the density of the wood is higher than the density of water, then it will sink.
