Do cotton ball float?
no because the cotton fills with water
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Will a cotton ball float in oil or water?
A cotton ball is thinly attached with lots if air between its fibers. It would be hard to find a liquid it doesn't float on, so the answer is yes to both.
What holds more water the cotton ball or cotton swab?
a cotton wool ball because it is bigger
How can a beach ball can float on water?
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
Will a tennis ball float or sink?
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Which will absorb water faster sponge or cotton ball?
A sponge will absorb water faster than a cotton ball. Sponges are designed with porous materials that can hold and retain water more efficiently compared to the fibers of a cotton ball.
Why is cotton ball absorbing water?
Cotton is made of cellulose fibers that have a high surface area and can hold water through capillary action. When a cotton ball comes in contact with water, the water is drawn into the tiny spaces within the fibers due to capillary action, making the cotton ball absorb water.
Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
What does the cotton ball do in a water filter?
A cotton ball can be used in a water filter to help remove larger particles and debris from the water as it passes through the filter. The cotton ball acts as a physical barrier to trap these particles, preventing them from passing through and contaminating the filtered water.
