An unopened water bottle contains a small pocket of air, allowing it to float. If the water bottle were to have this air removed, its buoyancy would be determined by the purity of the water inside and outside of the plastic.

Can a water bottle float?

Yes, a water bottle can float in water if it is empty or partially filled with air. The air inside the water bottle creates buoyancy, allowing it to stay afloat on the surface of the water.


How does an eyedropper stay at the bottom of a water filled 2 liter bottle and then float to the top?

When a dropper is filled with water and placed in a bottle, it initially sinks to the bottom due to its density. As the dropper fills with water, its overall density decreases, causing it to float back to the top. This change in density allows the dropper to switch between floating and sinking based on the amount of water it holds.


Why does a bottle cap float?

A bottle cap floats because it is less dense than water. The air trapped inside the bottle cap provides buoyancy, causing it to float on the surface of the water.


How can you make a bottle float then sink then float?

A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.

Why an empty glass bottle with a sealed cap float on water?

An empty glass bottle with a sealed cap floats on water because the air trapped inside the bottle provides buoyancy. The air in the bottle is less dense than water, causing the bottle to float on the surface. The sealed cap prevents water from entering the bottle, maintaining its buoyancy.
