What liquid is LESS dense than wood?
Ice! Some wood is also less dense than water. Styrofoam and some plastics are also less dense than water. There is an EXTREMELY simple experiment to test for this. Any object that floats when placed in water is less dense than the water it is in.And of course sperm.
What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
Why does dense wood burn better?
Dense wood burns better because it contains more energy in the form of potential heat due to its higher wood fiber content. This allows it to sustain combustion for longer periods of time and produce more heat compared to less dense wood types.
Can a wooden dowel float in salt water?
on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.
Why is a block of wood heavier than the same volume of gas kept in a container?
A block of wood is heavier than gas because the wood has more mass and density compared to the gas molecules which are spread out in the container. The atoms and molecules in the gas have less mass and are flying around with more space between them, making the gas less dense and lighter than a solid block of wood.
How much more dense wood than air?
more
What is more dense wood or water?
It depends on the kind of wood. Water is more dense than most wood, but there are some kinds of wood (typically called ironwood) that are more dense than water.
What liquid is LESS dense than wood?

Is metal heavier than wood?
it is more dense
Will the wooden cube float in water?
It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.
Is cedar wood more dense then pine wood?
No pine is more dense then cedar.
Why does wood float but stone sink?
First, the stone sinks because of the weight, the wood would probably be much lighter than the stone.Second, the density. The stone is much more dense than the wood
How do the density of wood cube and metal cube compare?
This is not a sensible question. There are many types of wood, and many types of metal. It depends which ones you pick. Balsa wood has a very low density, lignum vitae is much higher. Most woods are less dense than water (so they float) but a few are denser. Most metals are more dense than water, but a few, such as sodium and potassium are less dense. Overall, I suppose most metals are denser than most woods, but potassium is less dense than some forms of eucalyptus wood.
What is less dense wood or water?
Most wood seen on a common basis is less dense than water. These woods floats on water. Some more exotic woods are more dense than water and sink when placed in water.
Does a block of wood sink in water?
It may or may not float. It depends on whether the entire piece of wood is less dense than the water. Most wood is and will float on water. Very dense woods, such as ebony and cocobolo are more dense than water and will sink.
What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
How does liquid affect the height of which some objects float or sink?
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
