What floats and sinks?
In water, it could be any substance really with the same density of water, in which case would simply drift within the water body. Floating is caused when the substance is less dense than water, while sinking is caused when the substance is more dense than water. An equivalent density would be your answer.
Does charcoal powder float in water?
Charcoal is actually heavier than water with a density ranging from 180kg/m3 to 220kg/m3 ,but wood charcoal is porous with many holes in it and contains air this helps in its floating while when air is removed by boiling it settles down
How do you get an egg to float in vinegar?
To make an egg float in vinegar, you simply have to make the vinegar denser than the egg. Its like when you mix oil and water together, if you leave it for a while, you notice that they separate, one on top of another. The substance at the bottom is more dense than the substance at the top. To recreate this with vinegar and an egg, add salt to make the vinegar denser, and then put the egg in. If the egg still sinks, add more salt. Repeat until you get your desired result.
What happens to the density of a diamond submerged in water?
A diamond is a solid, while water is a liquid.

Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
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.
Does a pin float on lemonade?
yes it does because of the fizz giving it support but then after a while it sinks.
Why do certain object float in water while other sinks?
It is all to do with the density. Water has a density of 1g/cm^3 (1 gram per centimetre cubed). Anything that has a density of less than this will float in water, but anything that has a density greater than this will sink.
Why a large log of wood float on water but a steel needle sink?
The water extracted by the wood log while floating is of equal weight of the wood or more. For this reason, the log of wood floats while a steel needle sinks.
How can a large object float in the water while a small object sinks?
the large object spreads the water out more evenly over it's area because it's large while the small object has less space to do so.
How can a large object float on water while a small object sinks?
because a large object displaces more water, whether an object floats or not is a matter of whether the object that's in the water weighs more than the water it pushes away (water is 1 KG/DM^3, or 1000 KG/M^3 a small metal ball will therefore sink, while a large metal boat will float(a small hollow metal ball will also float)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The mass and volume of an object doesn't matter, its the density
What are the densities between lemon and lime?
The densities between lemon and lime are quite different. When you put a lime in a bucket of water, it will sink while a lemon will easily float in the same water. A lime has a higher density than a lemon.
Why does a ship made of steel float while a needle sinks?
A needle is fully metal whereas a ship is hollow so it floats
