Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?

Type your answer here... the oil has more density


When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?

-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.


Is the density of water more then the density of oil?

Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.


Why do things float in salt water?

It's all about density.Salt water has more density than regular water. Lower density floats on higher density


Why does ice float above and under water?

Ice floats above water, as it has lesser density than that of water. Due to anomalous expansion of water, the ice (solid) has more density than water(liquid). Hence, it floats above water.


What happens when a cork floats and a nail sinks?

What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.


Why do lighter objects float higher in water?

It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.


Why wood floats on water?

Wood floats on water because it is less dense than water. When an object is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, it will float. The air pockets within the wood contribute to its buoyancy, keeping it afloat on the water's surface.


An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?

liquid water is more dense than solid water


If an object floats in oil then does it float in water?

Not necessarily. An object's ability to float in a liquid depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the liquid. Even though an object may float in oil, it may not float in water if the object is more dense than water.


What does density have to do with whether or not something can float?

eg. air has less density than water so it floats lead has more density so it sinks


What floats more between cold water and hot water?

The density of cold water is greater than hot water so there will be more substances that will float in it.
