Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense.
-- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water.
-- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water.
-- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
Ball bearings are typically made of steel, which is not a magnetic material. They will sink in water and not float because their density is higher than that of water. If exposed to a strong magnetic field, ball bearings made of magnetic materials like iron may be attracted to the magnet.

Toilets use float valves. These are air filled balls that float on the water, as the cistern fills with water the ball floats higher. The ball is attached to an arm connected to a valve, when the ball reaches a predefined level the valve closes, shutting off the water to the cistern.

Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
five bowls with water, one with no salt, one with 1 tsp salt, next with 2 tsps salt, next with 3 tspns salt, and last with 4 teaspoons salt my items were a paper clip, a small plastic ball, a pen, and rubber band. pen floated for a minute in every bowl, so did the ball, rubber band didn't float in freshwater or salt w/1 teaspoon of salt, pen floated in every bowl. i waited a minute for all
A crushed paper ball will generally float in water due to its low density and air trapped within its fibers. This creates buoyancy, allowing it to remain on the surface of the water.
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.
Yes, half of a tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air-filled cavity inside the tennis ball helps it to float.
