What else can I help you with?
Would a block of wood float on top of water?
Yes, a block of wood would typically float on top of water because wood is less dense than water. This means that the weight of the wood is less than the weight of the water it displaces, causing it to float.
Can a wooden dowel float in salt water?
on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.
Can a person sit on top a sack of apples and float in water?
Technically no. You see, if the density of the person sitting on top of the sack of apples were less than the density of water, than it would float, i dount that this would actually be the case. Also it would be able to float if the sack of apples were one of those floating devises used in the water. lol
When water and decane are mixed which layer will float on top?
Water is denser than decane, so the water layer will sink to the bottom while the decane layer will float on top.
If you poured oil into a glass of water would it sink or float?
Oil is less dense than water, so it would float on top of the water in a distinct layer due to the difference in densities.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Suppose you put a birthday caddle in a glass of water why will the caddle float on top of the water?
It will float on top because it is less dense than water.
Will diesel float or sink inwater?
Diesel will float on top of water because it has a lower density than water. This is due to the fact that diesel is less dense than water, which causes it to displace water and float on top.
Would a pine wood float in oil?
Yes, pine wood is less dense than oil, so it would float on top of oil due to its buoyancy. Oil is less dense than water, so pine wood would also float on water.
Can helium float on top of water?
NO! be careful because in collage, my professor told my whole class that gases can float on top pf water.
How does a ship stay on top of water?
a ship stays on water frombuoyancy which makes it float. the saltier the water the more buoyancy there is, enabling more weight to float on top
Does a water bottle float on top of water?
An unopened water bottle contains a small pocket of air, allowing it to float. If the water bottle were to have this air removed, its buoyancy would be determined by the purity of the water inside and outside of the plastic.
