Which stone did not sink in the water?
Pumice is a type of stone that floats on water due to its high porosity and low density.
A heavy glass ball is placed in a pie pan that floats in a bucket The water level at the side of the bucket is marked Then the glass ball is removed and allowed to sink in the bucket The water line?
is the same. The pie pan floats by displacing water equal to the weight of the pan AND the ball. If the ball is placed in the water, and the pan floated on the water, displacement will be the same.
Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.
What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?
The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.
How does water sink and float?
Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
Why would a small pebble sink and an oil tanker floats?
Because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water. you can test this by pouring some oil in a glass of water it floats on top of the water it doesn't sink it is the same theory with the oil tanker in the sea.
Does silk float or sink in water?
It floats, but after a while silk will sink.
Why ice floats on water and does not sink?
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
Will Wax float or sink in water and why?
floats
Will wax sink in water?
No, it floats. Try it.
Does ice float or sink in water why?
it floats beacause there is water in it
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
How quickly does ice sink in water?
Ice generally floats in water.
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
Glass floats in mercury because mercury is much denser than glass, creating a buoyant force that allows the glass to float. In contrast, water is less dense than glass, causing the glass to sink due to its higher density. The buoyant force in water is not enough to support the heavier glass object.
Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
Does a bath towel sink or float?
it sometime sink if it has tu much water but yes it floats
Does a tortilla float or sink in water?
The bread floats the meal might sink depending on what ingredients are used.
