Something will sink if it is heaver than the same volume of water, so it depends on the density of the ball. Rock is denser than water so stones sink. However, depending on what a ball is made of it may or may not be heavier than the same volume of water. For example a Golf ball is denser than water so it sinks, but a ping-pong ball is lighter and will float.

If the stone sinks in water is it a real diamond?

Why cant stones float in water?
The molecules in a stone are packed together more tightly than the molecules in water-- the stone is more dense than the water is, so the stone sinks.
Does Fimo float?
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
Why does a stone sink when dropped to the bottom of a pond?
Actually, it is science. The stone is more dense than the water therefore it sinks. If it was less dense, it would float. Density is science, not religion.
Does mercury float on water?
No, it sinks.
Why doesn't a stone float?
A stone does not float because it is denser than water, meaning it weighs more than the water it displaces. The buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. Since the stone is heavier than the water it displaces, it sinks instead of floating.
Can a coin float in a cup of water?
No, it sinks.
Is the ring sink or float in oil?

What property causes a boat clay to float and a clay ball to sink?
The property that causes a boat clay to float is its shape and design, which displaces enough water to create buoyancy. In contrast, a clay ball sinks because it doesn't displace enough water to offset its weight.
