Why does tree wood float?
Things float because they are less dense than the liquid they are in.
Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
Why there is no life in dead sea n why things n living things float on its surface?
Because it is full of dissolved salt which makes the density of things lighter, and therefore makes them float.
What makes things float?
Because there is less density.
Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
no!!
What makes certain substances float and others sink?
