Why do some object float and some sink? what is bouyancy?

Buoyancy of object is the ability of object to float when we put the object into a liquid Buoyancy of liquid is the ability of liquid to float when we put it into a different type of liquid

Density of water = 1.0g/cm3 A substance that has a density lower than 1.0g/cm3 will float in water A substance that has a density higher than 1.0g/cm3 will sink in water

Density of cork is 0.25g/cm3 Density of water is 1.0g/cm3 The density of cork is less than the density of water. Therefore, cork floats in water

Density of glass is 2.6g/cm3 Density of water is 1.0g/cm3 The density of glass is of water. Therefore, glass than the density

in water

Density of kerosene is 0.7g/cm3 Density of water is 1.0g/cm3 The density of kerosene is density of water. Therefore, kerosene than the

in water

Ice float in water. What can you say about the density of ice compared to the density of water?

We can infer the density of ice is less than the density of water

density of water is 1.0g/cm3 Density of cork is 0.25g/cm3 Density of wax is 0.95g/cm3 Density of kerosene is 0.7g/cm3 Density of glass is 2.6g/cm3 These substances were mixed. Arrange them according to their densities.

Density of object can be changed by changing its volume Density of object decreased when volume increased (mass not changed)

1) cooking gas cylinder and aerosol cans contain liquefied gas. Gas turns into liquid when it is kept under high pressure
