the fact that wood has a definite shape and volume. This is what commonly describes all solids. As well the molecules of the wood are rigid and do not yield easily to other objects, ex: your hand.
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
No. Only solids denser than water will sink. The means a solid will only sink in water if it weighs more than an equal volume of water. Solids that float in water include ice, wood, and fat.
An evergreen tree is a solid form of matter. Its components are made up of solid structures such as wood, bark, leaves, and roots.
It is caused by the difference in density between wood and water.One cubic foot of wood is usually lighter than one cubic foot of water, hence the water goes up a little but the wood goes up more.The overall density of the wood block is less than that of the water, so it floats.The basic principle is that when a solid object is immersed in a fluid, the solid displaces some of the fluid. This causes an upthrust on the solid, equal to the weight of fluid displaced. If the upthrust is equal to the weight of the solid it floats.
The liquid that fits this description is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is heavier than most rocks and can cause wood to float on its surface due to its high density compared to the objects it displaces.
water is a liquid but wood isn't its a solid :D
Wood is a solid.
A solid
Solid - A rock, icecube, clay, or wood Liquid - Water Gas - Fossil Fuels, Gasoline

Solid
There are three kinds of matter: gas: argon; liquid: water; solid: wood
Matter is either a solid (like wood), a liquid (like water) or a gas (like air). Those are the three states of matter. A substance can be any of them depending on its temperature; for example water can be ice or water or steam.
Solid: a metallic knife, a piece of wood, a glass beaker. Liquid: water, wine, beer. Gas: air, methane gas, argon.
solid I think of it more like a set of solids -- each piece of wood is a solid.
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
If heated sufficiently, the minerals that are contained within the wood could liquefy.
