Our class has done this and it turns out that some of the things that happens include: 1:The water turns the color of the paint on the pencil. 2.The water starts to get soaked up by the wood. 3.Some of the water evaporates from the container. (We used a beaker for our container.) 4.The pencil still writes, but its very very dull. 5.Some pieces of the lead fuzz up and float to the bottom of the container. We have yet to finish this experiment. Updates coming soon! ^_^!
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Tar is denser than water, so it will sink in water.
Chloroform is denser than water, so it will sink in water.
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
A mechanical pencil would likely float in water due to its lightweight and buoyant materials such as plastic and metal components. However, if the pencil is filled with enough heavy lead to outweigh its buoyancy, it may sink.
It depends on the material of the pencil case. Most pencil cases made of fabric or plastic will float in water. However, if a pencil case is made of a heavy material like metal, it may sink.
it will float so the answer is yes
The main body of the pencil is made from soft wood which is naturally boyant, the pencil 'lead' is not lead at all but a much lighter substance called graphite. Your pencil is just not heavy enough to sink.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
Asphalt is denser than water and will sink in water rather than float.
Float.
float
I have a marker which float in water.
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
