Question

In a tank of water, a can of regular soda will sink to the bottom, but can a diet soda of diet soda of the same size will float . Select all the reasons explaining the phenomenon ​

Answer 1

One of the many reasons of this is because the diet soda is less dense than the normal soda, therefor, it will float even though there's the same amount of liquid in each can, and the cans weigh the same amount

I hope this helps

Explanation:

Answer 2

The options in the question are missing, but the answer is "The can of diet soda will float due to the Archimedes principle.

Explanation:

Now, Archimedes Principle can be defined as,

when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, the body losses its weight in the fluid equal to the amount of fluid displaced by this body.

Notice that the phenomena of floating and sinking is based on Archimedes principle. If, the weight of body is higher than the amount of liquid it displaced, body will sink and if the weight of body is lower than the amount of liquid it displaced, then it will float. Now, in comparison of regular can with diet can, one needs to notice that diet can is slightly lighter due to absence of sugar in the liquid it contained. But the volume of both regular and diet can are same. When immersed, both displace same amount of water, but the weight of diet can is slightly lesser than the amount of water it displaced, so it floats, while on the other hand, the weight of normal can is slightly higher than the amount of water it displaced, so it sinks.
