plastic is an insulator so it keeps you from being electrocuted.
What else can I help you with?
Is plexiglass lighter than glass?
Yes. Plexiglass is a plastic, whereas glass is comprised mainly of silicas. Glass is about twice as dense as plexiglass, so a sheet of plexiglass is lighter than a sheet of glass the same size.
What is an object that floats in water?
An example of an object that floats in water is a boat made of materials that are less dense than water, such as wood or plastic. This allows the boat to displace enough water to create an upward force (buoyancy) greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Will helium float in water?
Yes, helium will float in water. Helium is lighter than air, so it will also be lighter than water and rise to the surface when submerged in water.
Are objects lighter in water than in air?
They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.
What kind of objects float above water?
Objects that are less dense than water will float on the surface. This can include materials like wood, plastic, and certain types of metals. In general, objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float.
Do plastic float on water?
depends if the plastic is heavier or lighter than water and if its hold air which is lighter than water
Dose all plastic float in oil?
plastic will float in water because it is lighter than oil
Is a plastic cup lighter than a glass cup?
Plastic is less dense than glass, so normally a plastic cup is considerably lighter than a glass cup, although in theory a very small glass cup could weigh less than a very large plastic cup.
Are mangoes lighter than water?
Yes, mangoes are lighter than water. The density of mangoes is lower than the density of water, which means they will float in water.
Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?
Saturn is much lighter than water. It is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium, with a density lower than that of water.
What would happen to a plastic bottle if you put it on cold ice then hot water?
the lighter balloons go quicker than darker ones, but why?
Is frozen water 9 pecent lighter than water?
Yes, Frozen water is 9% Lighter than actual water .
Can a balloon carry more weight than a plastic bag?
No a balloon carry lighter weight then a plastic bag.
Is plexiglass lighter than glass?
Yes. Plexiglass is a plastic, whereas glass is comprised mainly of silicas. Glass is about twice as dense as plexiglass, so a sheet of plexiglass is lighter than a sheet of glass the same size.
What is heavier than water but lighter than mercury?
salted water
Why is water lighter than oil?
Oil is lighter than water due to it's lower specific gravity, specific gravity being the "density" of a fluid relative to water.
What is an object that floats in water?
An example of an object that floats in water is a boat made of materials that are less dense than water, such as wood or plastic. This allows the boat to displace enough water to create an upward force (buoyancy) greater than its weight, causing it to float.
