Why is glass of water heavier than pencil?
first of all it depends on the type of pencil. Heavier pencils may sink bu tmost pencils will float.
Does a pencil sink or float in water?
Our class has done this and it turns out that some of the things that happens include: 1:The water turns the color of the paint on the pencil. 2.The water starts to get soaked up by the wood. 3.Some of the water evaporates from the container. (We used a beaker for our container.) 4.The pencil still writes, but its very very dull. 5.Some pieces of the lead fuzz up and float to the bottom of the container. We have yet to finish this experiment. Updates coming soon! ^_^!

Does pencil lead have coal in it?
Pencil lead does not have coal. Pencil lead contains graphite.
What is the area of a pencil case?
Depends on what pencil case
Does a pencil remain the same when it is dipped in a glass of water?
Physically, the pencil remains a straight pencil. Optically, due to the refraction effect of water, the pencil will appear to be bent.
What is the conclusion of broken pencil?
-the pencil looks broken & bent in water. - the pencil looks bent, because of the refraction of light, that causes that to happen. -pencil looks really thick, in water.
Is a pencil dencer then water?
no, a pencil will float therefore it is less dense than water(ticonderoga #2 pencil was used)no pencils were harmed in the execution of this experiment
Is a pencil in water refraction?
yes, if the pencil is in water, its refraction because when a wave enters a new medium, the waves speed changes and moves in a different angle. that's why a pencil looks broken in water
How do the light waves coming from the pencil change speeds?
when the pencil enters the water
Where do the light waves change speed from a pencil?
ACTUALLY ! Its when the pencil enters the water .
When you put a pencil in the water what does it look like?
If light diffraction is what you are asking, then the pencil looks a bit broken on the line where it passes from air to water. Also the pencil looks about one third bigger under water.
What happens when a ray of light falls on a pencil kept in the tumbler filled with water?
Nothing happens when the ray of light hits the pencil. But it bends when it crosses the boundary between the air and the water. Your brain ... thinking that the end of the pencil is in the same direction that the ray of light is coming from ... thinks that the part of the pencil under the water is in a place where it's not, so the pencil appears bent at the water line.
If you have a half dollar and pencil and some water which of these have the greatest density?
The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.
Why would a pencil float in salt water?
A pencil will float in salt or fresh water equally well, because is it lighter than the amount of water it displaces.
Why does a pencil immersed in water appear to be displaced at the interface of air and water?
Take a pencil and a glass of water, and put the pencil in it. The apparent displacement of a pencil in the water is due to refraction, which is the change of direction of a wave as it moves from one medium into another.Light is being reflected off the pencil to allow us to see it. The light reflected off the part above water is propagated through air to our eyes. The part below the water must move through the water and then through the air for us to see it. As the light moves from the water into the air, it undergoes refraction, and changes direction. The part of the pencil below the water appears displaced to the viewer.
What metric would you use to find the area of a pencil?
put the pencil into a measuring jug filled with water to 100g the when you put the pencil in you see how much it has gone up . if it has gone up to 150g the pencil will the 50g in area. because you put in 100g of water
