No, else it would float
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
Anything that doesn't float in water is less dense than water, say iron? So if you drop an iron bar into a glass of water, you can say that the iron sinks or you can interpret it as the water floats? If you are referring to liquid, then mercury.
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
The density of iron is higher than that of water, so the iron nail sinks in water due to gravity pulling it downwards. The weight of the iron nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it from the water, causing it to sink.
Ice is less dense than water
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
no
Oil IS already less dense than water.
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Yes. Anything that is less dense than water will float on water.
