I'd be surprised if you could ever see that happen. The density of kerosene is

between 0.78 to 0.81 g/cm3 , so it ought to work just the other way around.

What are objects will sink and what objects float?

Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.


What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?

Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.


Why does an object float in water sinks in kerosene oil?

No. The ice does not float on oil or kerosene, it is because a kerosene is a non-polar solute whil the ice which came from H2o is a polar solute in which it contradicts with each other. When the ice melts, the ice become water, the water is denser than kerosene, so the kerosene floats for it has a lighter density while the water sinks for it has a denser density.


How do objects behave when placed in water?

When objects are placed in water, they can sink, float, or stay suspended depending on their density and the density of the water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, objects that are less dense will float, and objects with a similar density may stay suspended in the water.


What determines whether objects float or sink in water?

The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.


Why do some objects float and others dont?

Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float


What property in water makes things sink or float?

Its density.If a substance is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, then it will float.(The surface tension of water also contributes slightly to this.)


What will not float nor sink in water?

These objects are called with "neutral buoyancy".


What is the reason why some things float or sink because water is what?

Some things float or sink in water due to their density. Objects that are less dense than water will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. This is because the buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.


Can a staple float on water?

Yes, a staple can float in water. The reason for this is because it hardly weighs anything, so it won't sink.


How do objects sink or float?

Objects sink or float depending on their Mass and density. If the object has a Density LOWER than water, it will float. Higher than water will sink. You can find density by multiplying its Mass times its Volume, there you have its density. Water has a Density of 1, things with lower may sink, only slightly if there isn't much difference.


What objects will float sink then float?
