Does a capped empty plastic water float or not?
Yes, a capped, empty, plastic water bottle will almost always float in water. This is because the density of plastic water bottles (the 12- or 20-oz kind) is very low compared to water itself. As long as it is empty and capped, no water will enter the bottle while it is tipped over in the liquid, and so it will not be weighed down by the addition of any liquid.
