S.G. of water = 1.0
Floating, S.G. < 1.0,
Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.

What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.

How do you find density of an object in water?
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
Which things floats in water?
Any substance with a density less than water will float in it. Anything with a specific gravity less than 1 will float.
Why astronauts floats in space?
Beacause theres no gravity!
What causes insulin?
its gravity that floats more often
Why is the reason an object floats in water?
If the volume of liquid the object displaces weighs more than the object, the object will float. The principle is buoyancy or specific gravity.
Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?
ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water
What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.
Why the Diet Coke floats?
i dont know why it floats i think because its more soda in it and the can i lighter and coke is heavier

False.
Does a ball pen floats in space?
Everything, including ball point pens, floats in space because there is no gravity acting upon it.
