What else can I help you with?
Will paper sink?
Paper will sink once it has absorbed enough water to make it heavy.
What paper boat floats the best copy paper notebook paper construction paper?
Construction paper would likely float the best out of the three options due to its thickness and durability in water. Notebook paper and copy paper are thinner and may become soggy and sink quicker when exposed to water.
Would a paper clip sink or float?
A paper clip is denser than water, so it would sink if placed in water.
Does a piece of paper sink?
Not by it's self you have to have something with it
Why does a paper boat sink when it becomes wet or soggy?
the water weighs it down, this causes it to sink
Why does a water balloon sink in a jar when paper is burned in the jar?
because it does not have moistire so it sink an paper is burned unless it is in the sun
Why do paper clips sink?
Paper clips are made of metal, typically steel, which has a higher density than water. This means that the weight of the paper clip is greater than the water it displaces, making it sink rather than float.
Why does newspaper float then sink?
Newspapers initially float on water due to their low density. However, as they become saturated with water, their density increases causing them to sink. The water absorption gradually makes them heavier until they eventually sink.
Is tissue paper float?
Yes, tissue paper is lightweight and will typically float in water. However, if the tissue paper becomes saturated with water, it may eventually sink.
Why does paper sink but wood float?
Wood does not absorb water as easily as the paper. The paper had its fibers torn apart and then loosely assembled then dried to make flat sheets, when exposed to water the paper dehydrates very quick and thus sinks. The wood having an intact cell structure will absorb water and become "water Logged" over a long period, some over a period of years.
Why paper clips sink when added soap?
Soap reduces the surface tension of the water, making it easier for the water to overcome the buoyancy force of the paper clip, causing it to sink. This is because the soap molecules disrupt the cohesive forces between water molecules, allowing the water to spread out more easily and envelop the paper clip.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
