Yes, a cork will often float on the surface of water, depending on the cork's density. But a marble will sink in water because of its weight. It will not float on the surface.

Why does heavier marble roll slower than a lighter marble down a slope?

Heavier marbles have more mass, so they have more inertia and resist acceleration more than lighter marbles. This results in slower acceleration and slower rolling speed down a slope compared to lighter marbles.


How do you separate polystyrene balls from marbles?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! One way you could separate polystyrene balls from marbles is by using water. Since polystyrene balls float and marbles sink, you can gently pour water over the mixture and the balls will float to the top while the marbles stay at the bottom. Just remember to do it with a gentle touch and a big smile!


Why does corks below the water rise to the surface?

Corks are less dense than water, so they float. When a cork is submerged, the buoyant force pushes it upwards, causing it to rise to the surface of the water. This is due to Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.


What is the density 10 marbles?

The density of 10 marbles would depend on the material the marbles are made of. Generally, marbles have a density ranging from 2.5 to 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter. So, the total density of 10 marbles would be the density of one marble multiplied by 10.


What caused the motion of the bottle cap and marbles?

The motion of the bottle cap and marbles was caused by the initial force applied to them. When the cap was flicked, it transferred its energy to the marbles, causing them to move. Additionally, the force of gravity played a role in pulling the marbles downwards.

When purchasing wine supplies, should I purchase extra corks for the bottles?

You will invariably lose or ruin a certain number of corks. It should be less than five percent however. Since corks won't be overly expensive you should just add a few extra to your order. That's a matter of choice, but corks aren't expensive and you would eventually need more corks any way. So if you order some extra corks it's not going to be all that expensive.
