A solid rubber with a mass of 5.9 grams sinks A hollow rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 floats Why?
Because the hollow ball is larger than the solid one. It displaces enough of the fluid to equal its weight, so it floats.
Can energy float in water?
I'm afraid you don't understand what energy is. It is not a solid substance that either floats or sinks. Energy is a force, not a thing.
Does ice float or sink?
ice cubes, iceburgs. do they float or sink and that might answer your question
How can the density of a material be used to determine if it will float or sink in water?
If the density is more than 1 (gram per cc), then a solid lump of it sinks in water. Less than 1, it floats.
How you determine the density of a solid heavier than water?
t If it sinks it is higher densitiy, but if it floats it's lower density. If it hangs aroung the middle it's the same density!
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
What kind of solid sinks?
A solid that has a density greater than the density of the medium it is placed in (i.e. water). So a piece of lead is more dense than water, and so it sinks. Styrofoam is not very dense, and it floats.

How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
put them both in a tub of water and if one floats its not as dense as the other if it sinks its more dense
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.

How do waters relative as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.
