What are you putting it in? In a liquid with a high enough specific gravity it certainly will float. A small flake of it will float on water as well, supported by the surface tension of the water.
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
To make a bowling ball float or sink, it's necessary to manipulate its density. To make it float, decrease its density by drilling holes or using materials like foam. To make it sink, increase its density by adding weight to the ball or filling it with denser materials like lead.
A solid metal ball would sink into the very viscous liquid, a hollow metal ball would float. The speed of descent is dependent on the density of the liquid.
Helium is light and it will float / rise.
float
it depends what the cube is made out of it depends what the cube is made out of
float dua
it would sink
It depends on the density of the cube, not the length of its side.
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.
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
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.
It will float for a while than slowly sink because its density as a cube is Heavier than water (by the way waters density is 0.9-1.0 g and Tar is 1.02 g). I hereby conclude with all reasons that tar ( in a shape of a cube) will float then sink
Calculate its volume. Divide mass by volume to get its density. Compare that to the density of water - assuming you want to figure out whether it will float or sink in water.
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
