How does an empty cardboard box float?
An empty cardboard box can float because of its shape and the material it is made of—cardboard is lightweight and has air pockets that provide buoyancy. When placed in water, the box displaces water equal to its weight, allowing it to float.
Can a water bottle float?
Yes, a water bottle can float in water if it is empty or partially filled with air. The air inside the water bottle creates buoyancy, allowing it to stay afloat on the surface of the water.
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 styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Why an empty glass bottle with a sealed cap float on water?
An empty glass bottle with a sealed cap floats on water because the air trapped inside the bottle provides buoyancy. The air in the bottle is less dense than water, causing the bottle to float on the surface. The sealed cap prevents water from entering the bottle, maintaining its buoyancy.
Would a can of soda float if put in water?
if it was empty and the hole is away from the water
Does a 2 liter soda float in water?
An empty,sealed 2 liter soda bottle WILL float in water.
How do you get a 16 ounce tin can to float?

How subs float and sink?

Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
How do you make an iron float?
the modern iron has a small "shell" to hold the water in it now if its empty and is in water it may float from the air inside the iron
Does hot water need salt to make something float?
It would depend on the item of course... it would take an awful lot of salt to make a bar of steel float. Likewise, a sealed empty bottle might float on either cold or hot water. However, water will expand when heated, thus reducing the density of the water. Salt will increase the density of the water. It is possible to find some items that would float in cold water, but not in boiling water without compensating with something like salt.
Can a water bottle float?
Yes, a water bottle can float in water if it is empty or partially filled with air. The air inside the water bottle creates buoyancy, allowing it to stay afloat on the surface of the water.
Does Anorthite sink or float in water?
It will float. Its a rock. It actually depends on how much water you have, if you you tried float it in the ocean, it would obviously sink. But if you tried to float it on a gladd or bowl or water, it would float,

What happens when you push an empty bottle underwater?
