Why does a styrofoam ball floats in water?
Styrofoam is lighter than water, so it floats. In nature, heavy objects are more effected by gravity, so they are forced down.
What is the density of a styrofoam ball?
how much is styrofoam unit weight?
What would happen if you put a block of Styrofoam into water?
It floats.
Why does a balloon float in the air?
It floats in the air because of the helium inside. Helium's density is less than that of oxygen, same reason fat floats in water.
Is styrofoam low density?
Yes, it is.
Soap or styrofoam which one floats?
Styrofoam floats on water, Soap sinks.
What contains a life ring that makes it float?
Life rings are made of a buoyant material such as cork or styrofoam. This material is very light and has less density than the water. This is the reason that it floats.
Why does a styrofoam ball floats in water?
Styrofoam is lighter than water, so it floats. In nature, heavy objects are more effected by gravity, so they are forced down.
What is styrofoam density compared to water?
The density of styrofoam is lower: about 0.028 to 0.045 times that of water.
What kind of solid sinks?
A solid that has a density greater than the density of the medium it is placed in (i.e. water). So a piece of lead is more dense than water, and so it sinks. Styrofoam is not very dense, and it floats.

how much is styrofoam unit weight?
What bulding material can keep out the most floodwater?
Styrofoam! it floats.
What would happen if you put a block of Styrofoam into water?
It floats.
Is the density of water more then the density of oil?
Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.
Why does a balloon float in the air?

Can the fomula to find density find the density of styrofoam?
Yes.
Is styrofoam low density?
Yes, it is.
