the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
You are still floating because you have oxygen in your lungs. But if you drowned from a large body of water like the sea, you will float because you have consumed large amounts of water. And one more thing, we have this thing called buoyancy. Ah huh. :]
Excrement floats because it contains some water and it is also semi solid. Excrement contains undigested food matter and that can also make it float in water.
fishesmost animal when placed in water will naturally be able to float and there natural instinct to swim will kick in how ever pigs dislike this because they have a very sharp due claw which as they swim catches on their neck before they bleed to deathfire ants create floating bridges to transport food from one place to another
Fire, Water, Metal , Wood and Earth
Driftwood typically contains air pockets trapped within the wood fibers, which is why it is sometimes buoyant in water. The amount of air within the driftwood can vary depending on the wood species, how fresh the wood is, and how long it has been floating in water.
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.
Wood mostly floats in water because it has a lower density than water. it is NOT lighter than water, it is LESS DENSE. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm cubed. that means wood usually has a density of .99 or less. But, not all wood floats, keep that in mind
Wood floats in water.
wood floats because it has air monicles and is less dens then the water
If a block of wood floats in water, it means that the density of the wood is less than the density of water. This is because objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
because it is less dense
because the density of oak wood is less than the water and greater than the petrol.
pine wood?
No, pine wood does not sink in water. It is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface.
Most wood seen on a common basis is less dense than water. These woods floats on water. Some more exotic woods are more dense than water and sink when placed in water.
Wood floats on water because it is less dense than water. The spaces between wood fibers trap air, making wood less dense overall. This buoyancy force allows wood to float on the surface of water.
A piece of wood floats in water because wood has a lower density than water. This means that the weight of the water displaced by the wood is greater than the weight of the wood itself, causing it to float.
