What can you infer about the density of a material if a sampleof it floats in water?
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
Why wood floats in water?
Wood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind
How does the density of each material relate to how high it floats in the water?
if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats
How can an egg float on water?
an egg floats on water because the density of water is lower than the density of the egg.
What can you infer about the density of a substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
because the density is lower 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 snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
What can you infer about the density of a material if a sampleof it floats in water?
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....

Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
What is unusual about the density of ice?
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats
How is the density of ice unusual?
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats.
