Is density the reason that styrofoam floats?
No, it floats because of buoyancy.
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 is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
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
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
Is density the reason that styrofoam floats?
No, it floats because of buoyancy.
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 iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
What floats and what doesn't floats?
everything which has less density than water will float.....
What determains if an object floats or sinks?
The Density.
Why snow floats on water?
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
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.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
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 are low density floats?
low density~ being spread apart density~ being packed together
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.
