There are many possibilities that SOME stones float: 1.Some stones float because may be their density would be lesser than that of the liquid immersed. 2.The amount of liquid displaced by the stone is more thanthat of the weigth of the stone. 3.Surface area of the stone is more and the buoyant force makes it float. 4.The weight of the stone is less tha that of the liquid in which it is immersed. Buoyant force is the upthrust expereinced by an object whe immersed in a FLUID(liquid or gas) ex: paper floats on water due to buoyant.parachuts fly due to this force. It always acts perpendicularly. I suppose you would like a real answer? The only stones that I know that float are volcanic. I am not sure but almost positive that the density of all things rock is atomically heavier than water and the reason for the floating rock is the structure of the rock, not the density of stone molecules themselves. Trapped air inside a rock will cause the rock to float. The air molecules even being exposed to the water will still cling to the rock if there is enough (cohesive?) force to hold the air in or on the rocks inner and outer structure causing the combined volume of displacement to be lighter than the fluid being displaced.
What else can I help you with?
Does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Can an egg float in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
Will a egg float in salt water?
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
Why does fresh water float on top of salt water?
Fresh water is less dense than salt water because it has fewer dissolved ions. This difference in density causes fresh water to float on top of salt water, creating distinct layers. Salt water is more concentrated with ions, making it denser and causing it to sink below the less dense fresh water.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
Why does salt float?
Salt is soluble in water, doesn't float.
Why does fresh water float on salt water?
Fresh water is less dense than salt water, so it floats on top of the more dense salt water. This is due to differences in their salinity levels, with salt water being more concentrated. The less dense fresh water sits above the denser salt water due to the principle of buoyancy.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
What effects does salt have on water?
No major effects. The salt water and the water join to become a less concentrated salt solution than the salt water but a more concentrated salt solution than the regular water.
Does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
Why does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
Is it easier to float in salt water or fresh water?
It is definitely easier yo float in salt water.
If you float in salt water what will you do in fresh water?
If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.
