It depends on the iron content, the density, and the air voids within.

Poop that floats usually contains a higher amount of gas or air than denser poop that sinks. This can be due to differences in dietary fiber, fat content, hydration levels, or certain medical conditions affecting your digestive system. It's generally considered normal for your poop to occasionally float or sink, but persistent changes may warrant a talk with a healthcare provider.

An object that does not sink in water?
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
Why do some liquids sinks in liquids?
Some liquids sink in other liquids due to differences in density. When a liquid is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink because of gravity. This is similar to how some objects sink or float in water based on their density compared to the water.
Why will spirits float on water?
Well some do - mineral spirits for example are a hydrocarbon that do float on water. However, others such as methylated spirits are totally water soluble and hence dont float.
Why do some things float but not others?
Things that are less dense that water float while things that are more dense sink. An object's density has to be less than what it's floating in. If it's less, the object floats. If it's more, the object sinks. For more information about buoyancy see the related questions below. There is an exception to the above density proposal. Sometime a solid steel object which is more dense than water can "float" on the surface of water. Solid steel objects are able to "float" on the surface of water due to the surface tension of the water. Small solid steel objects such as double edged razor blades, needles and even paper clips can float on this surface tension film where water meets with the air above. The above objects have to be carefully lowered onto the surface of water and they will "float". To prove they are more dense than water, simply push them under the surface and they will sink to the bottom. See the related links to see a floating needle and floating paper clip.
Will glue float in water?
yes because it is les dense than water Some glues are buoyant, others are not. It depends on the chemical make-up and typically the use for which it is meant. There are glues designed for underwater use, and buoyancy would defeat the purpose or at least make them more difficult to use.
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
Why does some mater float while others do not float at all?
Materials float or sink depending on their density. If an object is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object helps determine whether it will float or sink.
Why do some green olives float and some not?
Some olives float while others sink is due to the amount of brine they take on during the curing process.
Why some things float but others sink?
The buoyancy of an object determines if it will float or sink. Objects with a density less than that of the fluid they are placed in will float, while objects with greater density will sink. Additionally, the shape and size of an object can also affect whether it floats or sinks.
What causes some oceanic plates to sink and others to float?
Oceanic plates sink because they are denser than the underlying mantle, due to cooling and becoming more compact over time. In contrast, other plates float because they are less dense than the mantle material below, allowing them to remain buoyant on top.
Will a living person sink in water?
It depends, some people are naturally buoyant, others sink. Normally if you have a lung full of air you will naturally float and if you breath out you will sink.
Why do some objects float and others do not?
because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink
Does crystal float?
It depends on the type of crystal. Some crystals have a density higher than water and will sink, while others have a lower density and will float.
Why do some things flaot while others sink?
Some things float or sink based on their density. Objects that are less dense than the liquid they are placed in will float, while those that are more dense will sink. Additionally, the shape and size of an object can also affect whether it floats or sinks.
Does sulfur sink or float?
Sulfur sinks in water because it is denser than water.
How and why do some things float and others sink?
Objects float when the weight of the water they displace is greater than their own weight, creating an upward buoyant force. Objects sink when their weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on them, causing them to descend in the water. The density and shape of an object determine whether it will float or sink.
Do all objects float?
No, some sink.
