An unpeeled orange floats in water but a peeled orange sinks why?

The density of water is 1. With their peel on, the orange's density is less than 1. However, without the peel, the orange's density is greater than 1.
Density > 1 (Float)
Density < 1 (Sink)
Mass ÷ Volume = Density
Mass ÷ Density = Volume
Density × Volume = Mass

If you peel an orange does it floats or sinks?
It depends on what has been done to the orange. An orange that still retains its rind will float due to having a lower density than water. Without the rind, it has a higher density that causes it to sink.
A solid that floats on water but sinks in methylated spirits?
Ice.
How does the density of each material relate to how high it floats in the water?
if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats
What effect does buoyancy have on items?
the effect that buoyancy has on items is floating, if the particular item floats it is positively buoyant, if it sinks it is negatively buoyant, if it neither floats or sinks it is neutrally buoyant. hope this helps!!
What is a measure of whether an object floats or sinks in a gas or liquid?
Density!!
Witch floats a peeled orange or an unpeeled orange?
A peeled orange floats A not peeled orange sinks
Why does a peeled orange sinks?
the peeled orange have less density as compare to unpeeled orange that why the peeled orange sink in water
What floats a peeled orange or a unpeeled orange?
The orange sinks when it is peeled. The skin contains airbags that help it remain afloat. When the skin is peeled the air bags no longer remain there and the orange will sink.

Do peeled oranges float better than unpeeled oranges?
Oranges float because with their peel on, their density is less than 1. The density of water is 1, and anything with a density less than 1 will float. However, if the peel is removed, the density will be more than 1, and the orange will sink. The formula for finding density is: Mass ÷ Volume=Density
Does an orange sink or float?
The orange floats with its' peel, but sinks when the peel is removed.
Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
What fruits sink in water?
Pear is a fruit that does not float in water. It sinks. If you peel an orange it will sink, but keep it intact and it floats.
