What would sink in water?
Objects that are denser than water or have spaces that allow water to fill in quickly would sink in water. Materials like lead, iron, and rocks are denser than water and will sink. Objects like wood or plastic may float depending on their density.
Does granite rock sink or float?
Granite rock is denser than water, so it will sink when placed in water.
Which rock doesn't sink in water?
Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that is known to float on water due to its porous nature.
Does the density of a rock cause it to sink or float in water?
Density describes mass per unit volume. Pretty much all rocks will sink unless there is air in it
Does anorthite float or sink?
Anorthite has a specific gravity greater than 3, which means it is denser than water and will sink in it.

Why does tissue sink when you put it in water?
In a piece of tissue , there are a lot of small spaces if you look closely enough. This spaces allow water to be absorbed hence increasing both the mass and the volume of the tissue. With greater mass and volume , the density of the tissue would be higher compared to the density of the water which is 1g/cm3 . Therefore , causing the tissue to sink in water .
Does granite rock sink or float?
Granite rock is denser than water, so it will sink when placed in water.
A rock will sink because it is heavier than..?
A rock will sink because it is more dense than the liquid into which it is placed.
Which rock doesn't sink in water?
Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that is known to float on water due to its porous nature.
Will a rock sink in water on the moon?
Yes. The weaker gravity on the moon does not change the fact that rock is denser than water. The rock will sink more slowly than it would on Earth, but it will still sink.
Will a large or small rock sink to the bottom of a pond first?
A large rock will generally sink to the bottom of a pond faster than a small rock due to its greater mass and density, which allow it to displace water more effectively. However, if the small rock is significantly denser than water, it may also sink quickly. Factors such as shape, surface area, and water resistance can also influence the sinking rate. Ultimately, in still water, the larger rock typically reaches the bottom first.
Does the density of a rock cause it to sink or float in water?
Density describes mass per unit volume. Pretty much all rocks will sink unless there is air in it
Will scoria float or sink in water?
Scoria is a type of volcanic rock that is typically denser than water, so it will sink in water.
What type of rock cannot float on water?
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Will something with a density of 68 g per cubic cm sink or float in water?
Sink. Like a rock. Faster than a rock. The density of water is ~1 g/cm3. Anything more dense than that will sink.
