Why does a bottle sink in the water?

A bottle sinks in water because the density of the bottle is greater than the density of water. This means that the bottle displaces less water than its own weight, causing it to sink rather than float.

How you make the bottle sink and why?

To make a bottle sink, you can simply fill it with a material denser than water, such as sand or rocks. When the bottle is submerged in water, the denser material inside causes it to sink. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will sink if it is denser than the fluid it is placed in.


How can you make a bottle float then sink then float?

A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.

Why does an empty plastic bottle floated while the bottle filled with water sank?

Since air is less dense than water, the air pushes the bottle upward. The water filled bottle would sink because the density is greater than water.

Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?

Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.


Why does the pen cap sink in the bottle of water when pressure is applied?

When pressure is applied to the bottle of water, the volume of the air inside the bottle decreases, causing the air pressure to increase. This increased air pressure then pushes down on the pen cap, causing it to sink in the water. Once the pressure is released, the cap will float back to the surface.
