Why some things float but others sink?
Maybe because they build it to not sink and some things sink because it is how it's made
Why do some things sink fast and some things sink slowly?
denser things sink faster the denser it is then the faster it will sink
What does buoyanay mean?
this is the concept that explains why some objects float on water while others sink. it all deals with density.
Why some materials sinks in water while others do not?
Some materials sink in water because they are more dense than the water. Others float because they are less dense than water.
Why do some objects float while others sink?
Density : if the weight per "cubic foot" is less than water it floats, if more it sinks.

Why do heavy things sink?
Not all heavy things sink. Things that are more dense than the liquid around them will sink.

Can everything float in the ocean?
no because some things are denser then others and might sink for ex:Rock,shoe,cookin pan and ecc.
What causes certain things to float and others to sink?
@it's called buoyancy because some things are heavier than others .......................... that is a good theory but no, buoyancy does cause it but buoyancy also needs air pressure took keep afloat .
Do Dinghys sink?
Yes, dinghys sink. Some are more likely to than others.
Why some materials sinks in water while others do not?
Some materials sink in water because they are more dense than the water. Others float because they are less dense than water.
Does silk float or sink in water?
It floats, but after a while silk will sink.
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
Why do some objects float while others sink?
Density : if the weight per "cubic foot" is less than water it floats, if more it sinks.
Why do things float and some things sink?
Things that float in a fluid are less dense than the fluid. Things that sink in a fluid are more dense than the fluid.
