No, cubes do not float better in water than spheres. Objects float based on their density and volume, not their shape. If a cube and a sphere have the same density and volume, they will float in water in the same manner.

Why did my ice cube go when I put them in water?

When you put ice cubes in water, they float because their density is less than that of liquid water. The ice cubes displace some of the water, but they don't sink; instead, they remain partially submerged due to buoyancy. As they melt, the ice cubes will eventually turn into water, contributing to the overall liquid in the container.


Why does my ice melt in my soda?

Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.


Is ice cubes floating in water a compound?

Water is a compound, H2O. Liquid water, and Ice, as well as steam are 3 different states of the same compound, H2O. Although different states or the same compound, there is nothing remarkable about ice in water.


Do objects float better in salt water or fresh water?

Objects float better in salt water because the denser the water the easier the object will float for instance if your at a salt water beach you will float easier in a salt water beach then you will floating in a swimming pool.


What is it called when a solid is less dense than its liquid?

This is called anomalous expansion or the anomaly of water. It means that when water freezes, its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, which is why ice cubes float in water.

Why does ice cubes float on top of water?

Ice cubes are less dense than water.


Do ice cubes in water float or sink?

They float, as ice is less dense than water.


Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?

Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.


Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?

Yes, ice cubes will float higher in alcohol compared to water because alcohol is less dense than water. This causes the ice cubes to displace more liquid when placed in alcohol, leading them to float higher.


Why do ice cubes float in drinks and water?

Ice cubes float in drinks and water because ice is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure that spaces the molecules farther apart, causing the ice to have a lower density. This lower density causes the ice to float on top of the liquid.


Do icecubes float?

Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.


Does sugar cubes float in water?

no it doesnt because it has lots of mass which makes in sink.


Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?

Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. The solid water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart than the molecules in liquid water, causing the ice to be less dense. This difference in density allows the ice cubes to float on the surface of the water rather than sink.


Will an objects float better in water or salt water?

an object will float on salt water best


Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?

No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.


Does a egg float in slat water or regular water better?

An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.
