a solid that sinks in water
no
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
it is less dense
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
its has more pressure
it might be less dense
Gases are less dense than solids.
see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.
refracted
If an object or liquid is is less dense than the liquid in which it floats, that's the reason why it floats, because whatever is less dense floats. If you meant to ask why something MORE dense can float in something LESS dense, one answer is surface tension.
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium, most of the wave energy is reflected back into the dense medium, while a smaller portion is transmitted into the less dense medium.
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
