What else can I help you with?
Can setimentary rocks float?
No they will sink or break apart
What can float or not float?
Objects that are less dense than the liquid they are placed in will float, while objects that are denser will sink. Some examples of things that float are wood, plastic, and foam, while examples of things that sink are metals, rocks, and most plastics. The shape and volume of an object also play a role in determining if it will float.
What floats and does not float?
A pencil floats, a human no float, a feather floats, paper floats, ice floats, keys do not float, rocks do not float, coins do not, flip flops float. Second answer: I think you meant to ask, 'What floats and then some time later starts to sink. If that is what you meant, the answer is: There are absorbent substances which float when dry, then after absorbing water while they are floating, they increase in density and then sink.
What objects to sink or float?
Objects with a higher density than water will sink, while objects with a lower density will float. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Materials like wood, plastic, and cork tend to float, while metals like iron and lead tend to sink.
Does the density of a rock cause it to sink or float in water?
Density describes mass per unit volume. Pretty much all rocks will sink unless there is air in it
Does silk float or sink in water?
It floats, but after a while silk will sink.
Do heavy objects sink while light objects float?
Not necessarily. Objects sink or float based on their density relative to the density of the fluid they are placed in. In general, dense objects tend to sink while less dense objects tend to float, but shape, size, and other factors can also play a role.
Do all rocks sink?
It depends on the type of rock. A rock like sandstone would not sink if it is a small peice. Small rocks can float. That's when its called silt.
What can float and what can sink?
Hmmm. Canned/Tinned fruit will most certainly sink. Most fruits straight off from the tree will float. However, if the fruits are not ripe, they might sink as they are very dense. A coconut will most certainly float. A packet of biscuits (unopened) will float for a long time. Oatmeal flakes will float for a while, then sink to the bottom. Potatoes and carrots will sink. Lettuce and cabbage will float Regards.
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
Why does some mater float while others do not float at all?
Materials float or sink depending on their density. If an object is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object helps determine whether it will float or sink.
Why do rocks sink and rubber balls float in a swimming pool?
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.
