Can cardboard float?
Cardboard can float in water depending on its thickness and density. If the cardboard is thick and has low density, it is more likely to float. However, if it is thin and has high density, it may sink.
Can an object made of cardboard float?
Usually - yes. Objects made of cardboard can float - at least until they become saturated with water. Even a sheet of cardboard will float initially. If the cardboard is coated with something that prevents the cardboard underneath from soaking up water, the object can continue to float for quite a while. Once it becomes saturated with water, cardboard will have more difficulty floating. Since it is made from paper - which derives from wood pulp - even when wet, it will tend to float rather than sink because wood is usually a bit less dense than water. Since it may not be JUST paper, it may depend on what else was added as to whether it will still float when soggy. It all depends on the average density. Note that as it becomes soggy, cardboard may tend to disintegrate - at which point it would just be a mass of mush rather than recognizable as cardboard.
How does an empty cardboard box float?
An empty cardboard box can float because of its shape and the material it is made of—cardboard is lightweight and has air pockets that provide buoyancy. When placed in water, the box displaces water equal to its weight, allowing it to float.
Why does cardboard float?
Cardboard floats because it is less dense than water. When placed in water, the upward buoyant force is greater than the downward force of gravity, causing the cardboard to float.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.

How does cardboard float?
