A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.


What will happen if wooden block dropped vertically into a basin of water?

The weight of the block at the time of the drop would ensure that the block goes into the water pretty deep depending on the size and weight of the block. After going into the water in the first instance, it would then float.

It depends (on the density what you are measuring). Block of Styrofoam would weigh less than a block of lead.

What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why?

Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.


Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?

A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.

Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?

Styrofoam is nonpolar. It is made up of long chains of hydrocarbon molecules that lack any significant electric charge imbalances, making it nonpolar.


Would a block with holes in it sink in water?

It depends on the density of the block and the water. If the block's overall density is greater than the water, it will sink. However, if the block is less dense than water, it will float, regardless of the holes.


What are the dimensions of a 1 ton block of Styrofoam?

A 1 ton block of Styrofoam would typically have dimensions of approximately 8 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. The density of Styrofoam is usually around 1 pound per cubic foot, so a 1 ton block would contain roughly 2,000 cubic feet of material.


What is the size of 351 windsor block freeze plug above starter. I know that is a its a npt pipethread?

If it is a freeze plug it would not have threads. Freeze Plugs are designed to pop out of the block should the water in the block freeze. This could not happen if the plug was threaded. Hope This Helped.
