Wood does not absorb water as easily as the paper.
The paper had its fibers torn apart and then loosely assembled then dried to make flat sheets, when exposed to water the paper dehydrates very quick and thus sinks.
The wood having an intact cell structure will absorb water and become "water Logged" over a long period, some over a period of years.
Yes. Most wood can float on honey. However, petrified wood most likely would not float on honey.
Ebony wood is a very dense and heavy wood, so it usually does not float on water. Its density makes it sink rather than float.
A paper clip is denser than water, so it would sink if placed in water.
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
Oak wood is less dense than water, which allows it to float. In contrast, paraffin is denser than water, causing it to sink. This difference in density determines whether an object will float or sink in water.

There are many different types of wood. Some woods are denser than water and will therefore sink. Some woods aren't as dense as water so will float. Also if the wood becomes saturated when placed in water it will most likely sink.
No, a block of ash wood will not float in methanol. Wood is denser than methanol, so it will sink in the liquid.
A paper clip is denser than water, so it would sink if placed in water.
A paper clip would float not sink. The only stuff that would sink would be the heavy stuff like a TV. thanks 4 the answer bro well the scientific way would be if the density of the object is greater than 1g/ml it will sink, if it less than 1g/ml it will float.

The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Yes, wood will float on mercury because mercury is much denser than wood. The density of mercury is about 13.6 times greater than that of wood, so wood will not sink in mercury and will actually float on its surface.
A pencil floats, a human no float, a feather floats, paper floats, ice floats, keys do not float, rocks do not float, coins do not, flip flops float. Second answer: I think you meant to ask, 'What floats and then some time later starts to sink. If that is what you meant, the answer is: There are absorbent substances which float when dry, then after absorbing water while they are floating, they increase in density and then sink.
