How can you make a bottle float then sink then float?
A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.
If an ordinary balloon is filled with air and pushed under water what will happen?
It should float up. Air is less dense than water, so it will float.
Is it the weight that makes things float?
No, it's the air volume on each item. For example, a balloon filled with air will surely float on the water, but a ballon filled with water will not float. That's because there is no air in the second one and that makes it even heavier.
Which property of water allows things to float?
There is NO property of water that allows things to float. Floating in not a property of a substance. It is the difference in density of two objects that allows one to be buoyant when surrounded by the other. This a balloon can float on air, A steel ship can float on water and oil can float on water.

How does a barge float?

Why does a swimming float float?
Because it has air in it. Air weighs less than water therefore air floats.

That they are not cooked enough. They float (in water) because there is still air trapped inside of them, so you need to cook them more.
Why do you tend to float lower in the water when you exhale?
You tend to float lower in the water when you exhale because you are getting rid of air. This air is buoyant and helped you to float higher.
Does air float in water?
Yes
Does air float on water?
Water has a higher density than air. Anything that is less dense will float. The tube's covering is not enough to make it sink when filled with air. That is also the reason that oil and water don't mix.
Why do most substances float in air if they flow in water?
I suspect that "flow" is meant to also be "float", but even with that substitution, it just changes the question from nonsensical to counterfactual.Most things that float in water do not float in air.
Why does chillies float on water?
