Question 15 • Physical Science

What happens when an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid?

Answer
A
The object will float.
B
The object will sink.
C
The object will become a solid.
D
The object will become a gas.

An object sinks when its density is greater than the density of the surrounding liquid. The liquid cannot provide enough buoyant force to support the object, so it moves downward. Therefore, the correct choice is “The object will sink.”
