a) Keerthi placed objects X and Y in water,
Object X
Object Y
Water
Which of these objects would sink? Give reasons for your answer. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Object X will sink in the water

the density of X is more than the density of Y , then X sinks in the liquid.

in object X there is no interatomic space and thus it is a solid..

Answer 2

If Keerthi places both Object X and Object Y in water, then Object X would sink in water.

We know,

$\longrightarrow$An object will float, if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.

$\longrightarrow$An object will sink, if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Obseve that Object X is a solid, which have very closely packed particles, making it a more denser object. Hence, if the relative density of Object X becomes more than water, then it would sink.
