Why a tin lid floats in a bowl of water but when it is crushed into a ball it sinks?
The surface tension of the water stops it from breaking the surface so long as it does not cut through it. The irregular shape and weight of a metal ball made from the same thing cuts the surface tension and breaks the electronic bond that exists between the water molecules at the surface.

Why does a steel ball sink in water but a toy ship made of steel floats?
Density of a steel ball is greater than the den. Of h2o - it sinks similarly den. Of a toy ship is less than the den. Of h2o - it floats
Explanation as to why a golf ball sinks and a ping pong ball floats if they are relatively the same size?
This has got to do with weight and density. A ping pong ball is extreemely light. A golf ball is heavy. If the golfball sinks, that mean that Water of the same volume weigh less. IE the golfball is heavier than water. Regards.
How do you know an egg is a dud?
put it in a glass of water if it floats its a dud if it sinks it is a good egg
Is a beach ball less dense than water?
I can't see the specific ball you're dealing with. If it sinks in water, then it's more dense than water. If it floats on water, then it's less dense than water.
Why a ball of steel sinks but boat made of steel floats?
The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks
Why a ball made of steel sinks in water while a boat made of steel easily sails in water?
according to Archemidies principle ,"when a body is dipped in water its weight is reduced , this reduction in weight s eqivalent to the volume of water which replaced by the body." when a steel ball dropped in water the weight of replaced water by the ball is less than weight of the ball , so the ball sinks. But in the same condition the volume of water replaced by the boat is more wieghy in comparision to the weigh of boat , hence it floats. The term for this is Bouyance. It also explains why a Dirigible(Zeppelin) airship floats in the air. The Volume of Dirigible weighs less than the Air it displaces. Believe it or not, the same is true for Steel Ships. What I find hard to fathom is how a Ship full of heavy crude Oil floats?
Why does a ball full of air float and not one that is not inflated?
A ball filled with air floats because the air trapped inside it creates buoyancy, which pushes against the force of gravity. An uninflated ball does not have this air-filled buoyant force, so it sinks in water.
Why does a steel ball sink in water?
In water, a metal spoon sinks. In water, a plastic spoon floats.
How does a water tank ball float valve regulate the water level in a tank?
A water tank ball float valve regulates the water level in a tank by using a floating ball attached to a lever. When the water level rises, the ball floats up and triggers the valve to close, stopping the flow of water into the tank. When the water level drops, the ball sinks and the valve opens, allowing more water to enter the tank. This mechanism helps maintain a consistent water level in the tank.
How does a ball float valve work in a water tank system?
A ball float valve in a water tank system works by using a floating ball attached to a lever arm. When the water level in the tank rises, the ball floats up and pushes the lever arm, which then closes the valve to stop the water flow. When the water level drops, the ball sinks, allowing the valve to open and refill the tank. This mechanism helps maintain a consistent water level in the tank.
Will a ball sink or float with a radius of 8.00cm and a mass of 600g?
The ball will sink. Whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density compared to the fluid it is placed in. Given the density of water (1.00 g/cm^3), a ball with a radius of 8.00 cm and a mass of 600 g will have a density greater than that of water, causing it to sink.
A solid rubber with a mass of 5.9 grams sinks A hollow rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 floats Why?
Because the hollow ball is larger than the solid one. It displaces enough of the fluid to equal its weight, so it floats.
