What is the only organ in your body light enough to float on water?
Well not all organs can float, but lungs can float on water
Why does an egg float on salt water only?
Because salt water is more dense than the egg therefore making the egg float
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
Would a block of wood float on top of water?
depending what kind of wood it would probably only be driftwood that would float.
Does a real diamond sink or float in water?
A diamond sinks in water. There is only one stone that floats, pumice.
Why does only 10 percent of the iceberg float on top of water?
Yes. The rule of thumb is 20 percent is visible above the water. Yes, they do float, however i believe that it's 10% that is visible due to the density of ice (0.9 g/cm) and the density of water (1g/cm). So .1 or 1 tenth of the iceberg is above the surface. (10%)
Did the iceberg sink after the Titanic hit it?
no No, although only 10% of an iceberg is visible above the surface, icebergs will float until they dissolve into the sea.
What cars will float on water?

What percentage of an iceberg can be seen above water?
typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
Why are icebergs dangerous to ships?
An iceberg or ice mountain is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. The problem with Icebergs is that they float into shipping lanes and because Ice is frozen water they are almost of the same density as water. This means that the bit that you can see sticking up from the sea surface is only a VERY small bit of the iceberg, (typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water). This means that ships can hit the underwater bit even when they are not close to the visible bit.
If wood had a density of 3.21 grams and a volume of 3 cubic centimeters would it float in water?
It will definitely float. it's all about density. Density= weight/volume D= 157/412=0.38 g/cm3 < 1 g/cm3 for water. It will not only float, but also, will float more than half of the material above the water.
Is it true that a human can only float when there is salt in the water?
Yes if theres enough salt in the water you can float
What is the only organ in your body light enough to float on water?
Well not all organs can float, but lungs can float on water
Will an egg float in ice cold water?
Only an altered egg float.
How much of the Lambert glacier is covered underwater?
Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
What type of rock cannot float on water?
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
How far do icebergs go down under water?
Remembering that only about a tenth of any iceberg is above the water, Titanic's berg was about 96 feet above sea level.
