What are some things that can float in water?
Objects that are less dense than water can float in it. Some examples include wood, plastic, cork, and certain types of metals like aluminum. Additionally, objects that are hollow or have air pockets can also float in water.
Why will a hollow boat made of plasticine float?
A hollow boat made of plasticine will float because the overall density of the boat is lower than the density of water. The buoyant force acting on the boat is greater than its weight, allowing it to float on the water's surface.
Does a bolt float?
no because it isn't hollow and denser than water
What is the term for the scientific explanation of how things float?
The term for the scientific explanation of how things float is "buoyancy."
Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
Why are boats hollow?
So that they float.
Why do rubber duckies float?
they float because they do not weigh to much and are hollow
How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Are sea otters hair hollow?
sea otters do have hollow fur to help them float... so yes sea otters have hollow hair.

Why a ship float in water even if it is massive?
Because it is hollow.
Can a ball float in water?
Depends on how much it weighs, if its hollow then maybe it would float. But doubting it would if its solid.
Why would a solid steel marble sink and a steel bowl float in a bathtub of water?
it is hollow so it will float
Can a concrete boat float?
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
How do snowcrabs swim?
teir bones are hollow so they float with the wind
Why will a hollow boat made of plasticine float?
A hollow boat made of plasticine will float because the overall density of the boat is lower than the density of water. The buoyant force acting on the boat is greater than its weight, allowing it to float on the water's surface.
Why might metal sometimes float and sometimes sink?
All objects float if their average density is less than the substance that they are immersed in. So if something is hollow, or has a substance lighter than the liquid in it, it would float on the liquid. (Some things are denser than their surroundings, some are less dense)
