Because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water. you can test this by pouring some oil in a glass of water it floats on top of the water it doesn't sink it is the same theory with the oil tanker in the sea.

Why would a small pebble sink and a steel ship float?

Well, its not the steel in the ship that floats exactly, its the oxygen contained in the ship, the more water something displaces means the more water is pushing it in horizontal direction. and because of the shapes of ships causes it to be pushed up.

An oil tanker would be carrying crude oil, not refined product. So the answer would be zero.


How can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cylinder?

To find the volume of a small pebble using a measuring cylinder, you would first fill the measuring cylinder with a known amount of water. Next, carefully drop the pebble into the water and measure the new water level. The difference between the initial and final water levels represents the volume of the pebble displaced, which is equal to the volume of the pebble itself.

How many grams does a pebble weigh?

Oh, dude, a pebble typically weighs around 5 grams. But hey, I mean, it's not like I carry a scale around to weigh pebbles all day, you know what I'm saying? So, like, give or take a gram or two, who's really counting, right?

How do you find the density of a pebble?

To find the density of a pebble, you would first measure its mass using a scale in grams. Next, you would determine its volume by either submerging it in water and measuring the water displacement or using a formula to calculate the volume based on its dimensions. Finally, you would divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density, typically in units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).


What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?

The pebble has potential energy due to its position at a higher elevation. If the pebble were to roll down the mountain, the potential energy would be converted into kinetic energy as it moves.
