How does an eyedropper stay at the bottom of a water filled 2 liter bottle and then float to the top?
When a dropper is filled with water and placed in a bottle, it initially sinks to the bottom due to its density. As the dropper fills with water, its overall density decreases, causing it to float back to the top. This change in density allows the dropper to switch between floating and sinking based on the amount of water it holds.

What gas are balloons filled with to make them float?
Balloons are usually filled with helium gas to make them float. Helium is lighter than air and provides the necessary lift for the balloon to float.
If you have a large tank with concentrated sugar water in it with a density of 1.5 which plastic would float a milk jug or a soda bottle?
i have a question very similar to thiss! i think the soda bottle would, becasue the milk jug would float in just regular water with a density of 1. the soda bottle has a density of 1.4, and if the sugar water is 1.5 then i think it would float because its density is less. but im no expert. ive been trying to look for the answer to this question as well. but that means a milk jug would float too because its density is less. its so confusing! sorry if that didnt help.
When water and decane are mixed which layer will float on top?
Water is denser than decane, so the water layer will sink to the bottom while the decane layer will float on top.
A balloon filled with air is released in a room filled with carbon dioxide will the balloon float to the ceiling or sink to the floor?
The balloon filled with air will float to the ceiling in a room filled with carbon dioxide. This is because the density of carbon dioxide is greater than the density of air. The balloon will experience a buoyant force upwards due to the density difference, causing it to rise towards the ceiling.
Can a blimp filled with carbon dioxide float?
It can, if you fill the balloon with air and let it float on the carbon dioxide. We used to do this with soap bubbles to illustrate certain effects of surface tension (for example, the fact that bubbles of the same size form a planar interface, but the interface between bubbles of different sizes bulges towards the larger bubble, proving the pressure in the smaller one is higher... it's much easier to see this when the bubble isn't actively falling towards the floor as you're trying to observe it). Put a piece of dry ice in the bottom of a large bath jar, and allow the bubbles to float on the denser carbon dioxide layer in the jar. Filling a balloon with carbon dioxide, though, will not cause it to float, as carbon dioxide is denser than air.
Why a sealed bottle partially filled with a liquid can float?
A sealed bottle partially filled with a liquid can float because the weight of the liquid inside the bottle is less than the weight of the liquid it displaces. This creates an upward buoyant force that allows the bottle to float.
What is a Cartesian Diver and how does it work?
A Cartesian Diver is a simple experiment using a small object, like an eyedropper, partially filled with water and placed in a bottle filled with water. By compressing the bottle, the pressure increases, causing the object to sink. Releasing the pressure causes the object to float back up due to the change in buoyancy. This demonstrates the relationship between pressure, volume, and density.
Can a water bottle float?
Yes, a water bottle can float in water if it is empty or partially filled with air. The air inside the water bottle creates buoyancy, allowing it to stay afloat on the surface of the water.
Can a hydrogen filled balloon float in vacuum?
no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.
What can carry 1 kg and float on water?
Lots of things can do that, an empty 2 liter bottle with the cap sealed tight, just about any bowl will also float and can hold more than a kg. Look up buoyant materials.
Unlike bivalves which sink to the bottom because of the heavy shell a nautilus can float in water because?
Its chambered shell is filled with gases
How do you make a bottle float upright on water?
To make a bottle float upright on water, you can adjust its weight distribution by partially filling it with air or by attaching small weights to the bottom of the bottle. This will help create buoyancy and keep the bottle stable in an upright position on the water surface.
Does rubbing oil float in air?
Have you ever seen a bottle of it? If so, was the bubble of air at the bottom or the top? There's your answer. (No, it does not float in air. Very small droplets of it can be temporarily suspended in air, but it will eventually settle out.)
Why can objects float?
Objects float if they displace more than their own mass. This means that if when they are put into a liquid the mass (weight) of the volume of the liquid that "has to get out of the way" is greater than the mass of the object, it will float.An empty glass bottle floats in water because the bottle is filled with air, yet the bottle's shape keeps water out and the mass of the volume of the displaced water exactly equals the mass of the bottle (and the air inside).
What are balloons that float filled with?
Helium
Will a water bottle sink or float?
It will typically float if it's empty and made of materials like plastic or aluminum. However, if it's filled with a liquid that's denser than water, like some sports drinks or solutions, it may sink.
Can a stillborn baby's lungs float?
No, the baby never filled them with air from their first breath, therefore they are fluid filled...and won't float.
