Why an iron nail sinks in water whereas a cork for the same size floats?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that cork floats on water because its cells are empty.Any object dropped into a liquid displaces that liquid. A floating object weighs the same as the liquid it displaces. An object that sinks, weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the stone is heavier than the cork causing it to sink. and not just that, cork is a lot less dense than a stone is.
What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
Which is more dense ice or alcohol?
Ice cubes are denser than cork. To test this yourself, take an identical size cube of each one, and weigh each on accurate scales. The cube of ice will weigh more than the cube of cork. Since density is weight (or mass) divided by volume, and the 2 volumes are the same, the ice is denser than the cork. Or, you could take an identical size sphere of each and lower them both into cold water. A visual inspection will show the obvious differences. The one that floats higher will be the one that's less dense (the cork).
Why is sound faster in steel than gold?
because gold is made up of dense particles, and the denser the particles are, the more they resist in movement so it take more energy to move them which result in a slower transfer of sound energy. In comparison, steel is less dense than gold which makes sound transfer faster in steel than in gold
Is lead more dense than air?
Lead is more dense than air.
Which is most dense Steel or Oxygen?

Why is steel more dense than water?
Water
Why steel more dense than water?
Water
Why sound would tavel more slowly in cork than in steel?
That is because of density.Lead has a high density than steel.
Why does a cork float on water?
because cork is less dense than water
A cork piece floats on water but an iron nail sinks give reason?
Things that are less dense than the water they displace will float (like cork) Things that are more dense than the water (like a nail) sink.
Why does a cork float?
Cork floats because it is less dense than the liquid in which it is floating.
Why would a cork float on water?
Because cork is less dense than water.

Does Cork floats in water?
Cork does float in water because it's less dense than water.
