Question

a.	Making use of Archimedes’s Principle, displacement, and buoyancy, explain why some objects float on water, but others do not.

dan815 · Answer

the ammount of water displacer is equal to the volume of the object immersed in the water

dan815 · Answer

a certain volume of water has a certain mass or weight to it, so to displace this weight, your object has to do a certain amount of work, its work is done in the form of its weight combined with the gravitational potential energy. If your object doesnt have enough weight for the volume of water it has to displace to sink, then it will float.
