How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
What density does an object have to have to sink in water?
A density greater than that of water (which varies with temperature).
What does volume and mass have to do with flotationn?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink
What has to have more density for an object to float on water the object or water?
Normally the water - to float and object has to displace a volume of water equal to its mass. If its density is greater than that of water, the maximum mass of water it can displace is its own volume which, as the water is less dense that it, will have less mass than the object and it will sink. However, for small light objects the surface tension of water comes into play - it is possible to float a steel sewing needle (with a density greater than water) on water by gently dropping a clean needle on its side onto the water surface so that it does not break the surface tension. With a needle floating, adding a few drops of washing up liquid to the surface reduces the surface tension and the needle will then sink.
Why is the density of ocean water greater than tap water?
because salt is higher density than water and dissolves in the water, increasing density
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 dropped into water?
the object with float up
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with greater density than water when it dropped into water?
the object with float up
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
The object will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the object is less than its weight, causing it to sink.
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water when it is droped 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.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
What is the effect of placing an object with greater density than water in a bucket of water?
what is the effect of placing an object with a greater density than water in a bucket of water
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density than water is dropped into water.?
It depends on the shape of the object. Otherwise you could not make metal ships.
