Can you make water light enough to sink a cork?
no
Is cork float or sink in water?
If you dropped a cork in a container of water, the cork will most definitely float. As to the cork is lite, like a feather and it doesnt container much mass.
Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
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.
Can you make water light enough to sink a cork?
no
A cork is floating in salty water As more salt is added to the water to increase its density the cork will?
sink, as the increased salt concentration will make the water more dense. This increased density will reduce the buoyant force acting on the cork, causing it to sink.
Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
Why do object flout or sink?
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
Does cork float or sink in water?
Cork floats in water because it is less dense than water. Its buoyant property allows it to stay afloat on the water's surface.
Would a wooden cork sink in a tank of water?
No, a wooden cork would float in a tank of water because wood is less dense than water. The cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which allows it to float.
If you dropped a cork in a container of water would it sink or float how do you know?
A cork would float in water because it is less dense than water. This means that the cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float on the surface of the water.
How A cork is floating in a saltwater solution As more salt is added to the water to increase its density what happens to the cork?
As more salt is added to the saltwater solution, the density of the water increases. Eventually, the density of the saltwater solution becomes greater than the density of the cork, causing the cork to sink. This is because denser objects tend to sink in less dense fluids.
What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?
If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
Will a cork sink in oil?
Yes, a cork will sink in oil because cork is less dense than oil. The buoyant force acting on the cork will be greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Why does cork sink in alcohol more than in water?
All you would have to do is change the density of the cork or the water. An easy to do this is to create air pockets in the water. This will make the water less dense and it wont be able to "sink" underneath the boat. In other words, the water/air mixture created by the bubbles, will be less dense than the boat. And everybody knows that the denser object sinks, so then the cork will sink. The cork will stay sunk as long as you are creating bubbles.
Is cork float or sink in water?
