Will a pen float in water?

Yes, a pen will typically float in water because it is less dense than water. However, some pens with heavier components or full ink cartridges may sink.


Why do plasticine float?

The pen weighs less than its equivalent volume of water weighs.Putting the pen underwater shoves an amount of water out of the way equal to the amount of space the pen takes up. This is called displacement. For the pen, the displaced water weighs more than the pen, so it can force the pen up and out of the water instead of the pen forcing more water out of the way and sinking to the bottom.Eventually, when most of the pen is out of the water, the small volume of the pen that is still beneath the surface displaces an amount of water whose weight equals the total weight of the pen. It then floats at this equilibrium depth, with the pen being pulled down with a force equal to the displaced water's weight pushing up.


Why does the pen cap sink in the bottle of water when pressure is applied?

When pressure is applied to the bottle of water, the volume of the air inside the bottle decreases, causing the air pressure to increase. This increased air pressure then pushes down on the pen cap, causing it to sink in the water. Once the pressure is released, the cap will float back to the surface.

How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?

The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.
