Personally, I float if I inhale; but I sink if I exhale. Your results may vary - for example, depending on the amount of body fat.

Do turnips float?
No. Potatoes don't float because of there weight, and that there is not enough volume spread out over the surface of the water. If your potato is flat... that is a different story.
Does a flat piece of metal have air trapped within its sides?
if you place a flat piece of metal on water will it sink or float
Why does puffed puri float and flat sink?
Puffing it up makes it less dense. Anything less dense than water can float on water, and anything more dense than water will sink.
Will an object weighing 85 grams sink or float?
It is not just the weight matter in floatation or sinking.The shape,surface area or the base liquid that matters.For eg. a very flat sheat of iron weighing 85gm will float in water but a bead(ball )of iron weighing 85gm will sink.On the other hand an iron bead of 85gm will float in mercury.
How can a wet surface affect friction?
Water can make a flat surface more slippery, which will decrease the amount of friction
How can aluminum foil float in water?
A thin aluminum foil can float on water if placed carefully flat on the surface because of the surface tension of water. If you were to submerge it, the foil will sink.
What do you call flowers that float on a pond?
could be water hyacinth Yes, water Hyacinth's do float on the water surface. Hyacinths have leaves that look like hippo ears. Water lilies also float on the water surface. They have flat leaves that fill the water surface and the flowers poke up among the leaves. Patti Rose www.rosepond.com
What is the reason that a crushed tin ball of foil will sink and and flat piece of it floats?
A flat piece of tin foil may float on top of water due to surface tension. A crushed ball of foil does not have near the amount of surface area in contact with the surface of the water, so the surface tension is not sufficient to keep it suspended. Note that if you place a flat sheet of foil in the bottom of a container and pour water in on top of it however, it will not rise to the top to float; you have to place it on top carefully in order to get it to float.
Do turnips float?
No. Potatoes don't float because of there weight, and that there is not enough volume spread out over the surface of the water. If your potato is flat... that is a different story.
What is a wooden float?
A Wooden float is the flat surfaced tool that is used for smoothing the surface of concrete prior to it setting. A wooden float produces a reasonably non slip surface as it pulls up sand out of the concrete mix to the surface.
Can an earring float in water?
Common metal earring don't float in water. However, you could design on that float by make it hollow. Jewellery design is unlimited, long as it can hung beautifully then anything could be possible, even using plastic to make an earring. I would think the back of the earring could be light and flat enough to be supported by the surface tention of water.
Can a hockey puck float on water?
No, because a hockey puck has a higher density than water. In some cases, objects with higher density than water can still float on the water, if they are small enough to avoid breaking the surface tension of the water. This is also the case if the object's mass is distributed across a large enough area, so you could float a penny on water if you put it down flat across the water, but it would not float if you dropped it in on its side. You also could not float that penny if you melted it down and made it into a sphere, for example.
Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
How can a ship float if it is more dense than water?
A ship can float because shape allows more surface area in the water allowing it to displace more water, when an object (the ship in this case) displaces more water than its weight it floats, if it displaces less water it sinks (a rock for example). a good example of this is say you are at the pool when you lay flat on your back in the water you float however if you tuck into a ball you begin to sink.
Does a flat piece of metal have air trapped within its sides?
if you place a flat piece of metal on water will it sink or float
How do fish float?
It depends on the species. Lily Pads have a flat surface area which allows them to float on the surface like a boat as well as having stems that keep growing until they reach the surface and then stop growing. With many Kelp species, they have "float sacs" filled with air which allow them to stay afloat.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
