Cotton is more spread out then water. The compounds may be heavier than water, but the fibers and cloth contain a lot of air. A wet cotton rag may sink in water if all of the air is removed.
A cork is less denser than water because cork is floating on water so it will have less density than water
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
If a block of the substance floats in water, it means that the density of the substance is less than the density of water. Since objects with lower density than water float in water, we can infer that the substance is less dense than water.
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Because the density of the cotton is less than that of the water. It weighs less.

-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.

it becomes thin and if worn and wet will be very cold
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
Volatile liquids such as alcohol and ethanol have less density than water. They also evaporate faster than water does.
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
