Would a block of wood float on top of water?

Yes, a block of wood would typically float on top of water because wood is less dense than water. This means that the weight of the wood is less than the weight of the water it displaces, causing it to float.


Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?

The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.


Does a block of wood sink in water?

It may or may not float. It depends on whether the entire piece of wood is less dense than the water. Most wood is and will float on water. Very dense woods, such as ebony and cocobolo are more dense than water and will sink.

Does a wooden block float or sink in water?

A wooden block will typically float in water because wood has a lower density than water, causing it to displace enough water to stay afloat.
