if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats

What can you infer about the density of a material if a sampleof it floats in water?
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
Does the density of material change when the material expands?
Ice has expanded when it turned from water into ice. Ice floats. This shows that the density of the ice is less than water.
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
How can the density of a material be used to determine if it will float or sink in water?
If the density is more than 1 (gram per cc), then a solid lump of it sinks in water. Less than 1, it floats.
Why wood floats in water?
Wood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind

What can you infer about the density of a material if a sample of it floats in water?
it is less dense.
What density table material floats on water but sinks on oil?
pine wood?
Does the density of material change when the material expands?
Ice has expanded when it turned from water into ice. Ice floats. This shows that the density of the ice is less than water.
Why wood floats on water?
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
Why does some food float and some food not?
Whether an object floats or not depends on its density. Density is the amount of mass in a volume, or mass divided by volume. If and object's density is less than that of water, it will float in water, and if an objects density is higher than that of water, it will sink in water. raw material (fishballs will sink down);but it will floats when it is cook. why
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
How can the density of a material be used to determine if it will float or sink in water?
If the density is more than 1 (gram per cc), then a solid lump of it sinks in water. Less than 1, it floats.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Yes true, however this is not true of H2O or water. Water in solid form is actually less dense than its liquid form. That is why ice floats on water.
