Pine cones float because they are less dense than the water, so they float. When you put them in right-side-up, the air gets trapped under the water. This causes the air bubbles to push up which makes the pine cone float.

∙ 6y agoWood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, why? because water is denser. Water has 1 g/cm^3 while, pine wood has 0.50g/cm^3.

∙ 15y agothe density (mass per volume, unit kg/m3) of most types of woods is lower than the density of salt water
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAn object floats when the objects density is less than the density of the displaced fluid. Most pine wood is less dense then water which causes it to float.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAny object that has less density than water will float in water.

Why does the oak wood float on water but not on paraffin?
Oakwood floats on water because it is less dense than parrafin. water has a density of about 1.0 g/cm3 and anything less than that floats (oakwood) and anything more than that sinks (parrafin) I do not know the answer to this question, however I do konwthat parrafin has a density of 0.8 g/cm3 so it should float on water.
