Cork is lighter than most types of wood and would therefore float higher (or better) in the water.

Does plastic or wood float better?
it depends on the density of each plastic floats better!
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Is cork float or sink in water?
If you dropped a cork in a container of water, the cork will most definitely float. As to the cork is lite, like a feather and it doesnt container much mass.
What density table material floats on water but sinks on oil?
pine wood?
Will a block of wood with a mass of 1000 grams will sink in water?
No. It doesn't matter how heavy a block of wood is, it depends on the density of the wood. Generally wood floats as the density of wood is lighter than the density of the water, so it would float.
Does a cork float?
Yes it does because it is made of wood and wood floats(unless it is mouldy and wet)
What are properties of a cork?
Cork insulates, is water resistant and floats in water.
Does plastic or wood float better?

Does cork float or sink in water?

Why does a cork float?

Why do corks float?

Is cork a hardwood?
Cork is bark, not wood.
Does Cork floats in water?
Cork does float in water because it's less dense than water.
Why wood floats on water?
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
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.
D the floating of cork in water what is the principle behin?
the density of the cork is lower than the density of the water- so it floats.
