Any substance with a density less than water will float in it. Anything with a specific gravity less than 1 will float.
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
The cork piece floats because it is less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to support its weight. The iron nail sinks because it is denser than water and does not displace enough water to counteract its weight, causing it to sink.
A piece of paper floats on water but cannot be lifted by a thousand men as it is too light.
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
Yes, an egg that floats in water is likely bad because it indicates that air has entered the eggshell, causing it to spoil.
If it floats on the water.
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
ice floats.
kerosene floats on water because kerosene is less denser than water
Record how high the foam floats in water.
freeze water as ice cubes then put it on water and it floats Liquid fresh water floats on salt water Warm water floats on cold water (water's greatest density is when it is 4 degrees Celsius).
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
Yes, paper is less dense than water, so it floats.
It's all about density.Salt water has more density than regular water. Lower density floats on higher density
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
