The content of the metal alloys is what may occasionally turn your skin green. Gold alloys, vermeil, and gold plated jewelry, however, can potentially begin to tarnish during normal use. Depending on the other metals used to strengthen or color your gold jewelry — like copper, zinc, silver, and nickel — you may find discoloration on the item itself or on your skin over time.
Looks expensive. Although a gold filled piece of jewelry is not sold gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold. Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction. Gold-filled jewelry is a great economical alternative to solid gold.
Gold actually increases in value over time, and solid gold jewelry has the best resale value. Gold filling is one of the most valuable and tarnish resistant processes for creating gold jewelry and other items.
Is Gold-Filled the same as Gold-Plated? Gold-filled jewelry has x more gold alloy than gold plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better than gold plated.

For more accurate results, continue testing additional cm aluminum squares. Observations and results Did more and more of the ball end up below the top of the water as the ball's diameter decreased?
Was about half of the ball below the water when the ball had a diameter of about 2. If an object is floating in water, the amount of water that gets displaced weighs the same as the object. Consequently, while it was floating, the ball should have displaced the same amount of water as it decreased in diameter, and so the buoyant force should have remained the same.
However, the density of the ball was changing—it increased as the ball's diameter decreased. Density is the mass per unit volume—it describes how much "stuff" is packed into a volume of space. When the aluminum ball had a diameter of 6. And as long as the ship displaces enough water to create a strong buoyant force, it can stay afloat—even if it is loaded with cargo. As the diameter decreased and density increased, the ball should have sank more and more. When its diameter was about 1. This is when the ball had a density approximately equal to that of water.
With a diameter of about 1. Already a subscriber? Sign in. Thanks for reading Scientific American. Create your free account or Sign in to continue. See Subscription Options.
Go Paperless with Digital. Key concepts Hydrodynamics Fluid dynamics Physics Water Introduction Have you ever wondered why when you drop a steel nail into water it sinks like a stone, but when a well-built steel ship is in the ocean it floats, even though it weighs much more than a tiny nail?
