Certain types of bowling balls when places in water float Explain how this is possible?

Certain WEIGHTS of bowling balls float. Bowling balls have a volume of 6250 cm3. An equal amount of water would weigh 6.25 kilograms. A bowling ball that weighs less than 6.25 kilograms--8-pound, 10-pound and 12-pound balls--will float. 14-pound and 16-pound balls, having a density higher than 6.25 kilograms, will not float.


Do racquetballs float?

Why do ping pong balls float?

If they float in water, then it is because the density of a ping pong ball is lighter than the density of water. The density of water is just below 1, and the density of a ping pong ball is much less than 1.


What is the property called that separates styrofoam balls?

The property that separates styrofoam balls is their buoyancy. Styrofoam balls are lightweight and have air trapped inside, making them less dense than water. This causes them to float on the surface of water, separating them from denser materials that sink.


What are the little balls for in antifreeze tester?

They float at different densities. If the density of the water/antifreeze mix is too weak, the number of balls floating will indicate that, if the mix is correct, they'll indicate that.


Why do rocks sink and rubber balls float in a swimming pool?

Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.
