Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
How can a beach ball can float on water?
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
Will a tennis ball float or sink?
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.
Is a ball bearing magnetic will they float or sink?
Ball bearings are typically made of steel, which is not a magnetic material. They will sink in water and not float because their density is higher than that of water. If exposed to a strong magnetic field, ball bearings made of magnetic materials like iron may be attracted to the magnet.

Does nickel float?
No, nickel does not float in water because it has a higher density than water. Any object with a higher density than water will sink.

Can plastic ball float on water?
Yes, plastic balls can float on water because they are less dense than water. The buoyant force acting upward on the plastic ball is greater than the gravitational force acting downward on it, allowing it to float.
Why won't a golf ball float on top of water?
The golf ball's density is greater than the water, which the water has adensity of 1.
When will a solid float in a liquid?
When the solid has a lower density than the liquid, it will float in it. The density is the mass divided by the volume. A bowling ball, while heavy, has a lower density than water, so it will float in water. A pebble, while light, has a higher density than water, so it will sink. In general, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Law). This means that the upward force on a bowling ball in water is equal to the weight of the same volume of water. Since a bowling-ball sized amount of water weighs more than a bowling ball, the upward force is greater than the weight of the bowling ball, and the submerged bowling ball will have a net force in the upward direction.
Does a bounce ball float in water?
No, bounce balls are typically made of rubber or plastic, so they are denser than water and will sink rather than float.
Can a wooden dowel float in salt water?
on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.
Why do some item float higher on the water than other?
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
