Pumice rock will float unless water fills most of the small air pockets. Wood may also be dense enough to sink when waterlogged. Styrofoam and similar materials cannot sink because they are less dense than water.
Density is used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid by comparing the density of the material to the density of the liquid. If the material has a greater density than the liquid, it will sink. If the material has a lower density than the liquid, it will float. Objects float when they displace an amount of liquid equal to their own weight.
Whether a pen floats or sinks in water depends on its material. A plastic pen will typically float, while a metal pen will likely sink. The density of the material determines whether an object will float or sink in water.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
If you think to a material with the density of 0,92 g/cm3, this material float on water.
Most shoes would sink, but some would float if they were made of a material that floats such as crocks, or had no holes such as a pair of Dutch wooden clogs.
because it has never been wash
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
they float belly upl... they float belly upl... float and, you don't really need to know because it will be easy to tell that it is dead.
Boats can sink. They are usually made of materials that allow them to displace water, and permit them to float. From time to time, that material will break down, and the boat will sink.
oil and water
A submarine is made from strong material so it can withstand the tremendous pressure at depths.
If a material has a density of one, it will float in water. This is because the density of water is 1 g/cm³, so any material with a density equal to or less than that of water will float.
