Want this question answered?
Oil is usually lighter (lower density) than water.
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
The density of snow is lower than the density of water.
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
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.
Bout
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
everything which has less density than water will float.....
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
It floats
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
