Can a coin float in a cup of water?

No, it sinks.


Why does a coin sink in a cup of water?

A coin sinks in water because it is denser than water. The weight of the coin is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink.


How does a coin sink?

Lol if you want to know the way it sinks, drop it in a cup of water. If you want to know why it sinks, its because the coin is far more dense then the water making it sink. The reason it is more dense ia because the molecules that make up the coin are much more compact, while the molecules that make up the water are spread apart.

Would a coin float or sink?

A coin typically sinks in water because it is more dense than water. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, while most common coins have a higher density, causing them to sink.


Why a coin sinks while a ship floats?

Ultraoversimplifying it, the coin is solid metal all the way through and weighs more than its volume of water, the ship has a large space filled with air inside it resulting in the weight of the ship and cargo being less than the weight of the volume of water it occupies.This is called buoyancy: the coin has negative buoyancy and sinks, the ship has positive buoyancy and floats.


Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of styrofoam of a similar size and shape float?

The coin sinks because it is denser than water, causing it to displace less water and sink. The styrofoam floats because it is less dense than water, displacing enough water to create an upward buoyant force that keeps it afloat.

does a coin sink or float?

The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.


Does Fimo float?

No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
