because the water has more density than the oil so the oil spreads only on the surface.
A needle placed in water will float due to surface tension. The surface tension of water allows the needle to be supported on the surface rather than sink.
A paper boat floats on water because of buoyancy, which is the force that water exerts on objects placed in it. The shape of the boat traps air inside it, which makes it less dense than water and allows it to float. Additionally, the weight of the paper boat is spread out over the surface of the water, creating an upward force that counteracts gravity.
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. When the needle is carefully placed on the surface of the water, its weight is not enough to break the surface tension created by the water molecules, causing it to float.
No. Potatoes don't float because of there weight, and that there is not enough volume spread out over the surface of the water. If your potato is flat... that is a different story.
When a needle is placed on the surface of water, the surface tension of the water causes it to be attracted to the needle, creating a depression in the water surface underneath the needle. This results in a downward force acting on the needle, causing it to sink into the water.
A needle placed in water will float due to surface tension. The surface tension of water allows the needle to be supported on the surface rather than sink.
A drop of oil placed on the surface of water will typically form a near-perfect circle due to surface tension forces that minimize the surface area of the liquid.
When a drop of water is placed on a glass plate, it spreads out due to surface tension. Surface tension is the property of a liquid that causes its surface to behave like a thin elastic sheet. The water molecules at the surface of the drop are pulled inward by the cohesive forces between water molecules, causing the drop to spread out to minimize its surface area.
No, there is not enough water on Earth to cover the entire planet. The Earth's surface is about 70 water, but most of it is in the oceans, which only cover about 71 of the planet's surface.

Naturally, as oil is a liquid it spreads out. And if we are talking about water it would spread on the surface of the water as oil and water don't mix.
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. When the needle is carefully placed on the surface of the water, its weight is not enough to break the surface tension created by the water molecules, causing it to float.
because it is refracted.
it floats.They float at water surface.
it floats.They float at water surface.
The surface tension of the water and the fact that oil and water cannot wet each other.
water is a conductor of electricity so when a live wire is placed into water the current can spread out through the water.
