Does buoyant force depend on shape?
If an object is completely submerged, the volume of the fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object. The buoyancy force does not depend on the shape of the object, only on its volume.
How do you know if an object will float or sink?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

SIMPLE SCIENCE: Peeps are water soluble meaning they can be dissolved by water because they are made of sugar. You will notice the color from the peeps dissolve the fastest.
What happens if you microwave a marshmallow?
When the microwave marshmallow cools, it’s dry and crunchy. We think that’s because some of the water in the marshmallow evaporates when the marshmallow is hot. If you cook your marshmallow for too long, it turns brown or black inside. That happens when the sugar gets so hot that it starts to burn.
Why do Marshmallow Peeps explode in the microwave?
But when you put them in the microwave, the heat makes those air bubbles grow—gasses naturally expand more than the solids you find in foods. The growing air bubbles are trapped inside the Peep, pushing against the marshmallow walls and expanding the treat into a monster.
What is the best way to melt marshmallows?
Melt Marshmallows in the Microwave
- Use a large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Add one bag of marshmallows.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water.
- Put in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.
- When the timer goes off, remove the bowl and stir the marshmallows.
- Repeat this step until the marshmallows are smooth.
What is in the marshmallows that causes it to get bigger when in a vacuum?
Under normal conditions, molecules of air from the atmosphere (called atmospheric pressure) are pushing on the outside of the marshmallow. When the vacuum packer removes the air that was once pushing on the outside of the marshmallow, the air trapped inside the marshmallow pushes out (expands) causing it to get larger.
