it floats beacause there is water in it
They float, as ice is less dense than water.

No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
Since the density of ice is less than that of water (1g/cm3), some of the ice will float. The amount of ice that will sink below the water depends on the volume of the ice and the density difference between ice and water. To calculate the immersed volume, you'd need to consider Archimedes' principle.
