depending what kind of wood it would probably only be driftwood that would float.

Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Would a glass and wood block float in water?
if it was a cubick foot of water and the glass was the same and weighs less then the water than yes
Why does a block of wood float higher in saltwater than a block of wood in fresh water?
Boyle's Law - upthrust equals the weight of fluid displaced, so the more dense fluid (salt water) will cause the wood to float higher than the less dense fluid (pure water).
Does a block of wood sink in water?
It may or may not float. It depends on whether the entire piece of wood is less dense than the water. Most wood is and will float on water. Very dense woods, such as ebony and cocobolo are more dense than water and will sink.

Which will float on the water 1 kg block of wood or 1 g block of aluminum?
wood
If you put a wooden block in a river it will float or not?
Most wood (blocks) float because most wood is less dense than water. However, there are some hardwoods that are denser than water, a block made from one of these would sink.
Will a block of wood with a mass of 1000 grams will sink in water?
No. It doesn't matter how heavy a block of wood is, it depends on the density of the wood. Generally wood floats as the density of wood is lighter than the density of the water, so it would float.

Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.

Which will float in water a 1kg of block of wood or a 1 g block og Aluminum?
In most cases the wood will float (there are a few dense tropical woods that will not) and the metal will sink. things float because they displace more weight of water than their own volume if not they sink

Will a block of ebony wood float in water?
a block of ebony will sink in water because it's density is 1.2 g/cm3 and the water's density is 1g/cm3
Will a block of ash wood float in methanol?
yes
Would the density of white oak sink or float if it is placed in water?
The density of the wood would not be affected by being placed in water. However, the wood itself, with a density of about 0.77 gm/cm3 , would float.
