Does a capped empty plastic water float or not?

Yes, a capped, empty, plastic water bottle will almost always float in water. This is because the density of plastic water bottles (the 12- or 20-oz kind) is very low compared to water itself. As long as it is empty and capped, no water will enter the bottle while it is tipped over in the liquid, and so it will not be weighed down by the addition of any liquid.


Will a glass bottle explode when you take it to high altitudes?

Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you mean a capped bottle or an open bottle? Small bottle or large, just how high is 'high altitude' and what type of temperature are you at? There are certainly a lot of variables to consider. If you simply took an open / empty bottle to high altitude (or even space) there is nothing inherent to the glass which would make it explode. If you sealed a bottle at sea level, (air pressure at sea level is about 15 lbs per square inch (psi) and took that into the vacuum of space, the bottle would then "feel" the 15 psi of internal pressure. Would that cause it to explode? Again, maybe yes, maybe no. Most bottles which hold carbonated beverages can hold 100psi or higher. A thick champaign bottle may hold significantly more than that, so they would be OK. However a designer perfume bottle or a twisty 'art glass' bottle which isn't designed to hold any pressure may break. Additionally because pressure is multiplied by area to get overall force, a small bottle may be OK while a large bottle may break. For a given pressure, the large bottle simply contains more force than a small bottle. Additionally, with very high altitude comes low temperatures and/or high temperature gradients (very hot in the sun, very cold in shadow). These thermal stresses may cause a liquid in the bottle to freeze and rupture the bottle, or the bottle may break from the high thermal stresses.

What should bethe shape of an ideal thermometer?

An ideal thermometer usually has a thin glass tube with a uniform bore, capped at one end with a bulb containing a temperature-sensitive liquid like mercury or alcohol. The tube should have uniform markings along its length for accurate temperature reading. The thin design allows the liquid to expand and contract easily as the temperature changes.


What is the highest decibel level that earphones should allow in order to avoid damaging the hearing of a person?

Earphones should limit the sound level to a maximum of 85 decibels to prevent hearing damage. Prolonged exposure to sounds above this level can lead to hearing loss over time. It's important to listen at safe volumes and take breaks to protect your hearing.

Why does a plastic bottle filled completely with water and capped tightly burst open when left in the freezer overnight?

The water expanded when turned into ice. As there was no air space in the bottle, the plastic failed under the pressure.


Why a tightly capped bottle full of water is kept in the open sunlight tiny bubbles are formed all around the bottle?

When a tightly capped bottle of water is kept in the open sunlight, it heats up and the water inside starts to evaporate. The evaporation process releases gases trapped in the water, creating bubbles around the bottle. The heat from the sunlight accelerates this process.
