Will a cotton ball float longer in water or soda?
soda
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Will a cotton ball float in oil or water?
A cotton ball is thinly attached with lots if air between its fibers. It would be hard to find a liquid it doesn't float on, so the answer is yes to both.
Will a solid ball float or sink?

What is the mass of a cotton ball?
The mass of a cotton ball can vary depending on its size and density. On average, a standard cotton ball typically weighs around 0.5 to 1 gram.
What does friction have to do with a cotton ball falling down a tube?
Friction between the cotton ball and the walls of the tube can influence the speed at which the cotton ball falls. More friction means more resistance, which can slow down the cotton ball's descent. If there's less friction, the cotton ball can fall more freely and quickly through the tube.
Why cotton float on air?
Cotton fibers are light and have air trapped within them, contributing to their buoyancy. Additionally, cotton fibers are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and are less likely to become waterlogged and sink. This combination of factors allows cotton to float on air.
Can cotton thread float in water?
Yes, cotton thread is less dense than water so it will float on the water's surface. This is because cotton is a natural fiber and has air trapped within its structure, giving it buoyancy.
What does the activity with the cotton ball and plastic help prove explain?
The activity with the cotton ball and plastic helps demonstrate the concept of static electricity. When you rub the plastic on the cotton ball, electrons transfer from the plastic to the cotton ball, resulting in a buildup of static charge on the cotton ball. The cotton ball can then be attracted to objects with the opposite charge or repelled by objects with the same charge, showcasing how static electricity works.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
