What Makes Something Sink at Jefferson Wilson blog

What Makes Something Sink. Objects float when they are positively buoyant, or less dense than the fluid in which they are immersed. Objects with more loosely packed molecules are less dense and float. If the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight, the buoyant force acting on it will be equal to gravity—and the object will float. A paper clip or a penny is dense. Floating and sinking provides opportunities for students to observe how everyday objects behave in water and to investigate the factors that determine whether an object will float or sink. The buoyancy of an object is its tendency to float on or rise in a liquid. Objects with tightly packed molecules are denser and sink. Why do things float or sink? The ability of an object to float depends on its buoyancy. Find out what buoyancy is and why things sink or float with a bitesize 2nd level science explainer.
