Will a cork sink in oil?
Yes, a cork will sink in oil because cork is less dense than oil. The buoyant force acting on the cork will be greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Will arsenic float or sink in pure water?
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
What will happen if a cork is placed in water?
The cork will float on the surface of the water because cork is less dense than water. The cork displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight, allowing it to float. If the cork is pushed under water, it will pop back up due to its buoyant force.
Can a cork float in salt water?
It depends on how much salt is in the water. So if a cork sinks in regular water you should put a little bit more than a 1/4 cup.
Will tar float or sink in water?
Tar is denser than water, so it will sink in water.
If you dropped a cork in a container of water would it sink or float how do you know?
A cork would float in water because it is less dense than water. This means that the cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float on the surface of the water.
Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
Why do object flout or sink?
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
Would a wooden cork sink in a tank of water?
No, a wooden cork would float in a tank of water because wood is less dense than water. The cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which allows it to float.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?
If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
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.
Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
A cork is floating in salty water As more salt is added to the water to increase its density the cork will?
sink, as the increased salt concentration will make the water more dense. This increased density will reduce the buoyant force acting on the cork, causing it to sink.
Is cork float or sink in water?
If you dropped a cork in a container of water, the cork will most definitely float. As to the cork is lite, like a feather and it doesnt container much mass.
Will a cork sink in oil?
Yes, a cork will sink in oil because cork is less dense than oil. The buoyant force acting on the cork will be greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Will cork sink or float in mercury?
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
