Why would a cork float in water?
In general, an object floats if it is less dense (has less density) than the water (or other liquid).
How A cork is floating in a saltwater solution As more salt is added to the water to increase its density what happens to the cork?
As more salt is added to the saltwater solution, the density of the water increases. Eventually, the density of the saltwater solution becomes greater than the density of the cork, causing the cork to sink. This is because denser objects tend to sink in less dense fluids.
Examples of objects whose density is less than water's?
Objects like wood, oil, plastic, and cork have densities that are less than water, which is why they float when placed in water. Materials with lower densities than water displace less water than their own weight, causing them to float.
Why does cork sink in alcohol more than in water?
All you would have to do is change the density of the cork or the water. An easy to do this is to create air pockets in the water. This will make the water less dense and it wont be able to "sink" underneath the boat. In other words, the water/air mixture created by the bubbles, will be less dense than the boat. And everybody knows that the denser object sinks, so then the cork will sink. The cork will stay sunk as long as you are creating bubbles.
A cork is floating in salty water As more salt is added to the water to increase its density the cork will?
sink, as the increased salt concentration will make the water more dense. This increased density will reduce the buoyant force acting on the cork, causing it to sink.
What happens when a cork floats and a nail sinks?
What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.

Do things float in vinigar?
If the density of an object is less then the vinegar then it will float, if it's density is greater then the object will not,ex: cork is much less dense then water, so it floats on top of water
D the floating of cork in water what is the principle behin?
the density of the cork is lower than the density of the water- so it floats.
Why cork floats in water?
Any object placed in water will be pulled down into the liquid by gravity. But an object less dense than water will only be pulled down until the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Then it will float. The water will be pushing up equal to the force of gravity pulling down - an equilibrium. Any object that weighs less than its own volume of water will float. It's lower overall density will result in buoyancy.
What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
A cork is able to float on water because it is what?
it is less dense than 1.00, the density of water is 1.00 so ya ur not cool
Why an iron nail sinks in water whereas a cork for the same size floats?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that cork floats on water because its cells are empty.Any object dropped into a liquid displaces that liquid. A floating object weighs the same as the liquid it displaces. An object that sinks, weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the stone is heavier than the cork causing it to sink. and not just that, cork is a lot less dense than a stone is.
Why does a cork float on water?
because cork is less dense than water
Is cork more dense than steel?
No, steel is more dense than cork. Steel has a higher density because it contains more atoms packed closely together compared to cork.
What is the density of a cork stopper?
It?æ is hard to find the density of a cork in water because?æ cork floats?æ in water. Density of a substance is given by its?æ mass divide?æ by its volume and since cork does not submerge, it is difficult to find its volume.
