Would a glass and wood block float in water?
if it was a cubick foot of water and the glass was the same and weighs less then the water than yes
Why should an object sink in salty water and float in fresh water?
The only possible reason for that would be that after the object floated for a while,the salt ate a hole in it, the water poured into it, and it stopped floating.If the object doesn't corrode, dissolve, or get water-logged, then it might float insalty water and sink in fresh water, because salty water is always more densethan either fresh or distilled water.
Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
They would float.
Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?
Yes it would float
When would the density of an object float in liquid water?
The density is not directly relevant. Otherwise, ship made of steel would not float on water.
Would a glass and wood block float in water?

Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
What is less dense glass or water?
Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense. Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Which one is denser water or baby oil?
no this is not true baby oil has more density than water.
Can you set fire to a river?
Petrol will float on the surface of water, as petrol is less dense than water. So, it would be possible to set fire to a river, provided petrol is poured over the surface first!
Does Anorthite sink or float in water?
It will float. Its a rock. It actually depends on how much water you have, if you you tried float it in the ocean, it would obviously sink. But if you tried to float it on a gladd or bowl or water, it would float,
What would happen to vegetable oil and water if they were poured into a graduated cylinder together?
One would float atop the other. Oil and water do not mix at the particle level because those substances possess different intermolecular forces between their particles.
Does an object in water sink or float?
It is because some things have air in them. A sponge has air in it so it would float. a pair of socks would soon soak up all of the water and sink. __________ It really is complicated. Some objects float mainly because of their shape; you could float a glass bowl on water if it has a stable enough shape, but a sphere of glass with the same mass as the bowl would obviously sink. Many of the materials in an ocean liner would sink, including the materials that make up the hull and basic inner structure, if they were formed into spheres. But not all substances would sink even if formed into solid spheres. Such an object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density (specific gravity) of the water. It will float if it is less dense than the water.

Can glass float on water?
Yes, glass can absorb water. Irving Friedman and others showed that Obsidian (volcanic glass) absorbs water very slowly, and the amount of water it has absorbed can be used to date the age of a fresh cut in this type of glass. The rate of absorption of water depends on a number of factors, including the silica content of the glass (SiO2), the amount of water already absorbed, and the temperature. These factors are not necessarily the only ones affecting this process, but my current work (the amount of water absorbed by volcanic glass from New Zealand) has not yielded answers yet as to the other factors. A ballpark estimate for rate of hydration would come from using diffusion rates of around 1-10 micrometers squared per 1000 years, as suggested by Friedman et al. (1993a)
Would a human finger sink or float?
Float (on water).
