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.
Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
Why is it difficult to force a crushed paper ball placed at the mouth of a bottle by blowing into it?
It's difficult to force a crushed paper ball into a bottle by blowing into it because as you blow air into the bottle, you are increasing the air pressure within the bottle. This increased pressure pushes against the paper ball and prevents it from being pushed further into the bottle. Additionally, the shape and size of the bottle's opening may also restrict the paper ball from entering.
What is the reason that a crushed tin ball of foil will sink and and flat piece of it floats?
A flat piece of tin foil may float on top of water due to surface tension. A crushed ball of foil does not have near the amount of surface area in contact with the surface of the water, so the surface tension is not sufficient to keep it suspended. Note that if you place a flat sheet of foil in the bottom of a container and pour water in on top of it however, it will not rise to the top to float; you have to place it on top carefully in order to get it to float.

Does a plasticine ball float on water?
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
How do you measure density of bowling ball?
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.

Additionally, the shape and size of the bottle's opening may also restrict the paper ball from entering.
Does half of a tennis ball float?
Yes, half of a tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air-filled cavity inside the tennis ball helps 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.
Will a cotton ball float longer in water or soda?
soda
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.
