Why would a pencil float in salt water?
A pencil would float in salt water due to the principle of buoyancy. The salt water is denser than the pencil, causing it to displace enough water to create an upward force that exceeds its weight, allowing it to float.
Does pencil case float?
It depends on the material of the pencil case. Most pencil cases made of fabric or plastic will float in water. However, if a pencil case is made of a heavy material like metal, it may sink.
Can pencils float?
Yes, pencils can float in water because they are less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the pencil is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Why does pencil float?
The main body of the pencil is made from soft wood which is naturally boyant, the pencil 'lead' is not lead at all but a much lighter substance called graphite. Your pencil is just not heavy enough to sink.
Why does pencil shavings float on water?
Pencil shavings float on water because they are less dense than water, allowing them to stay on the surface rather than sinking. The air trapped within the shavings also contributes to their buoyancy.

Is a pencil dencer then water?
no, a pencil will float therefore it is less dense than water(ticonderoga #2 pencil was used)no pencils were harmed in the execution of this experiment

Would a macanical pencil sink or float?
A mechanical pencil would likely float in water due to its lightweight and buoyant materials such as plastic and metal components. However, if the pencil is filled with enough heavy lead to outweigh its buoyancy, it may sink.
Would a pencil sink or float?
it will float so the answer is yes
How do you make a pencil lead float on water?
Im not sure but i think u shoukld hollow the middle
Does a pencil sink or float in water?
Our class has done this and it turns out that some of the things that happens include: 1:The water turns the color of the paint on the pencil. 2.The water starts to get soaked up by the wood. 3.Some of the water evaporates from the container. (We used a beaker for our container.) 4.The pencil still writes, but its very very dull. 5.Some pieces of the lead fuzz up and float to the bottom of the container. We have yet to finish this experiment. Updates coming soon! ^_^!
If you have a half dollar and pencil and some water which of these have the greatest density?
The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.
Why is glass of water heavier than pencil?
first of all it depends on the type of pencil. Heavier pencils may sink bu tmost pencils will float.
