Question:

Aluminum floating and sinking help??

when aluminum foil is formed into a loose ball, it can float on waterbut when the ball of foil is pounded flat with a hammer, the foil sinks? why?(1) aluminum is less dense than water.(2) the act of pounding with a hammer increases the mass of the ball of foil.(3) the act of pounding with a hammer increases the volume of the ball of foil.(4) air caught in the ball of foil makes the ball less dense than water

Answer:

It sounds like every food you've had her on has contained chickenMy last dog was a black lab and he was allergic to chickenAny kind of chicken, dry food, treats or actual meat caused him to have loose bowel movementsTry switching her to a food containing lamb, beef or fish instead, this worked for us and we never had any problems again.
Fruits have sugar, it's natural, but some fruits can even be bad for youVeggies are a lot healthier, particularly the green ones.
Your vet has everything backwardMore fiber will make your dog GO and have soft stools My dog had the exact same problem as your dog and I switched his food 4-5 times always in the Holistic section when finally, after 18 months of frustration I gave him a food that was not holistic (royal canin) and on that very first day his stools were normalProblem was, holistic food contains fruits and vegetables and it's TOO MUCH fiber for a dog.
Hello Selena, The answer is 4How can pounding the foil change its volume, lol, that is hilariousYes, its the air pockets in the ball of foilA note: If you were to hold the ball under water and rotate it around until all the air pockets filled with water, then it would sink alsoIts not the shape, its the fact that with the air pockets, it displaces more water, which creates a greater buoyant forceGood Luck Selena
