Why wood swim on the water?
Wood has a lower density than water, and thus the upward buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the weight of the wood submerged. The density of wood less than water, all things are less than water density can float on the water
When is an object buoyant?
When the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid or gas it is buoyant. For example, the density of wood is about 40 lb per cubic foot, while water is 62.4 lb per cubic foot, so wood floats. The density of helium gas is much less than air, so even with the added weight of the balloon, the average density of a helium balloon is less than air and it is buoyant. also there is an example with a pencil & a fish take since there is more than twice the weight of the pencil of water in the tank the pencil will certainly float
Why metal feels colder than a wooden fence?
Metal will conduct heat better than wood. While both the metal and the wood are the same temperature, heat will flow from your hands to the metal very quickly (and you feel cold). When you touch wood, a poor conductor, heat does not flow from you as quickly.

Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when in cold water?
Because metal conducts heat faster than wood. The temperature of the water will be carried up to your hand much more efficiently by the metal spoon than a wooden spoon.
Why is a cubic meter of balsa wood is more buoyant than a cubic meter of oak?
Because balsa wood is much lighter
Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What is Wood's metal?
It would help if you were more specific other than a metal and wood combination, but Ironwood is the strongest wood out there, if that helps you.
Is metal heavier than wood?
it is more dense
What is wood plus metal?
It would help if you were more specific other than a metal and wood combination, but Ironwood is the strongest wood out there, if that helps you.
How can matter be more or less buoyant?
it can be more or less buoyant be having more or less mass.i.e. lead will sink in water because the mass is higher and wood will float because it is lighter. the more mass the less buoyant, less mass means more buoyant.
Why doesn't a canoe sink?
Canoes do sink. Metal canoes will sink if they are turned sideways and loose their air pocket. Wood canoes normally do not sink if they are not waterlogged as the wood is buoyant. The same can be said for canoes made of other buoyant materials.
is a metal or wood office desk better?
This is really a matter of preferance whether a metal desk or a wood office desk is better. Metal might dent a little more eaisly than wood dseks, but it is a personal prefernace.
What is the most buoyant wood?
Balsa
What is most buoyant wood?
Balsa
Is wood furniture better than metal?
yes wood furniture is better than metal. metal will show wear they rust and dent. the wood furniture last longer
Why does a metal bat hit farther than a wood bat?
Wooden bat absorb more energy than metal bat during the contact with object.
