A material that is a solid and if dropped in water is very buoyant?

It is a substance that has a low density so that it only needs to displace very little water to equal its weight and so float.

A 15 gram solid object is dropped into agraduated cylinder containin 35 ml of water the water level rises to 45 ml mark what is the density of the solid?
the object volume is equal to the water displaced, or 10ml. Density is 15/10 = 1.5g/ml
When buoyant force due to water is greater than the weight of the object?
In that case, such an object will float.
Why will a water balloon dropped from six feet make a bigger splat than a water balloon dropped from 1 foot?
6 feet
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
What are you finding if you measure the space that a solid figure occupies?
You are finding the volume of the solid figure.To find the volume of a solid figure, depending on the size of the object, you can use a graduated cylinder. You can fill the cylinder up to x amount of water and then measure the amount after dropping the solid into the water, and then subtract the amount before, from the amount after, to get the volume of a solid. You can also use simple mathematics to figure the volume of the solid. There are different formulas for calculating volume for different types of solid figures.
Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?
yes, it is the equivalent to the weight of the water displaced by the solid material of the boat.
How does the amount of buoyant force exerted by water vary with the volume of submerged solid?
The amount of buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. The VOLUME of the displaced water is equal to the part of the solid that is submerged - thus, the buoyant force is equal to this volume, times the density of the water.
How can you identify a solid that can not be dissolved in water?
Put it in water. Wait. Check the water for traces of the solid material.
What will happen to a solid object with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped in water?
It will sink.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when is it dropped into water?
It will sink.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
How does a raft float?
A raft is very buoyant, and displaces very little water, the material it is made from is lighter than water, which makes them float very well.
What is buoyant force determined by?
Weight of the object - weight of fluid it displaces. If the fluid is water and you are using a pure solid, not hollow, substance this is easily found by subtracting the densities of the two and multiply by its volume.
What is a life jacket?
jacket made of buoyant material: a sleeveless jacket made of light material or filled with air, used to keep somebody afloat in water-Lucille Ball1Fan
What is a solid that donst allow water in called?
It is an impermeable material.
If an object is buoyant in air is it buoyant in water?
Yes, since the density of air is less than the density of water, a buoyant object in air is buoyant in water. In any body of water that is exposed to the air, in fact, said object would escape the body of water entirely.
