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.
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would 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.
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.
Any object placed in water will be pulled down into the liquid by gravity. But an object less dense than water will only be pulled down until the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Then it will float. The water will be pushing up equal to the force of gravity pulling down - an equilibrium. Any object that weighs less than its own volume of water will float. It's lower overall density will result in buoyancy.
To make a cork sink in water, start by gathering a few corks and ensuring they are tightly packed together. Use a waterproof adhesive or hot glue to bond them securely, forming a dense block. Once the glue has set, submerge the cork block in water; if it floats, you can add small weights or attach a net to keep it submerged. Ensure that the cork is sealed to prevent water from entering, which would cause it to float.
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.
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
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.
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
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.
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.
Cork floats in water because it is less dense than water. Its buoyant property allows it to stay afloat on the water's surface.
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.
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.
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.
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.
