I know why a lemon floats on water: the weight of a lemon is less than that of an equal volume of water. Let's throw some numbers out here, although they're ones I just made up to show you what's happening: 100 milliliters of water weighs 100 grams. The lemon you have has a total volume of 120 milliliters, but it weighs 100 grams. When you put the lemon in the water, it will displace 100 milliliters of water, gaining equilibrium. Since the lemon's volume is 120 milliliters, 20 milliliters of it are going to be out of the water. In other words, it will float. If the weight of the lemon was 100 grams and the lemon's volume was 100 milliliters, the whole lemon would be underwater since the displacement and the weight would be the same.
And if the weight was 120 grams but the volume 100 milliliters, the lemon would sink since the water wouldn't be able to support the weight of the lemon.
Yes, a lemon will float on water due to its low density. The air pockets in the lemon's skin allow it to displace enough water to float.
The densities between lemon and lime are quite different. When you put a lime in a bucket of water, it will sink while a lemon will easily float in the same water. A lime has a higher density than a lemon.
Easy,water has more mass than water causing the lemon to float because of the pressure.Now im not sure if this is the answer but its a pretty logical hypothesis.
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
humans i think.
they have discovered that the lemon does float
No, a solid steel bar will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Only objects with a lower density than water will float.
i think by getting it into the water well it should float
Yes, small twigs are usually light enough to float on water due to their low density. However, larger or denser twigs may sink.
because of the density i the water, i think?
Yes, plastic drinking straws will float in water.
no i dont think so
