Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
Why cotton float on air?
Cotton fibers are light and have air trapped within them, contributing to their buoyancy. Additionally, cotton fibers are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and are less likely to become waterlogged and sink. This combination of factors allows cotton to float on air.
Is cotton thread conductor of electricity?
Yes, cotton thread by itself is not a good conductor of electricity because it is an insulator. However, if the cotton thread is coated or infused with a conducting material like metal, it can become a conductor of electricity.
Can cotton have the ability to float on water?
The cotton, even though a solid, floats on water because its density is much less compared to that of water. The particles of cotton are very light in weight. However, it will be noticed that, after some time, the cotton sinks in water. This is because, the water has been absorbed by the cotton, and the particles of cotton have become heavy. Then, they cannot absorb any more. So, they completely sinks to the bottom of the water after a certain time period-By Satyam KUmar of DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL KOYLA NAGAR DHANBAD CLASS IX-A
What are the results of can water float on water?
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
Is cotton thread stronger than poly cotton thread?
yes cotton thread is stronger than polycotton thread
Do cotton ball float?
no because the cotton fills with water
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
What was the cotton mill used for?
The cotton mill used water power in order to spin cotton into useful thread. This allowed for greater thread production, which led to more and cheaper clothes for all.
Will a cotton ball float longer in water or soda?
soda
What is cotton thread used for?
cotton thread is used to sew and to make clothing
Why needle sinks in water and thread does not even both has equal surface areas?
Actually, its the other way around. A needle will float on water due to surface tension of the water. Thread will not because the fibers of the thread will break the bonds of the surface tension and allow the thread to sink. Also, the thread is not straight as is the needle.
Why cotton float on air?

What thread count do Egyptian cotton sheets have?
Egyptian cotton usually has a 200 or greater thread count.
Which hand powered machine helped turn cotton into thread?
It was the Spinning Jenny that changed cotton into thread. The cotton gin removed the seeds.
Will a cotton ball float in oil or water?
A cotton ball is thinly attached with lots if air between its fibers. It would be hard to find a liquid it doesn't float on, so the answer is yes to both.
What is the difference between textile factories and cotton mills?
Cotton mills make cotton thread. Textile factories turn any thread into cloth.
