If it is metallic, you could try a magnetic.
Magnet.
no
One hypothesis will have to do with the surface tension of water.
im pretty sure it floats
You can try boiling it.
Because the paperclip is not dense enough to break the surface tension of the water
You can let someone deliver a paperclip for you for free by simply asking the person to let you borrow a paperclip. Most people will be happy to lend a paperclip to you and hand it to you without charging any type of fee.
A paperclip attracts a magnet ,a magnet attracts a paperclip.
see. a paperclip attracts magnets. when you put it underwater it will join together - this is how it attracts. it will repel by moving away from each other
The reason that your paperclip was able to float on water, was due to the upthrust (The force that acts upwards due to water pressure) being greater than the weight of the weight (the downwards force due to mass x gravity) . The paper clip is less dense than water, and therefore will float.
water
