What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
A marble was drooped into a glass of waterhow do you know the marble is more dense than water?
Because marble sinks in water.
Why does an egg sink into a glass bottle but not a plastic bottle?
It floats because the water is heaver then the bottle. The bottle is light so it floats. No,It floats because the particles are free to move inside but with water in it there is not enough space for the particles to move so it floats.
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
When poured into water in a glass jar oil floats to the top?
The oil has less density
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?

Will a glass marble rust in water?
no
If you drop a marble into a glass of water the marble will sink because its?
Because the marble has a higher density than the water does
What happens if you put a marble in a half glass of water?
The marble will sink.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
A marble was drooped into a glass of waterhow do you know the marble is more dense than water?
Because marble sinks in water.
Does ice floats in Mercury?
Yes. Ice floats in water because it is less dense. Mercury is over ten times denser than water. So ice easily floats in mercury.
What does ice do in a glass of water?
First it floats, then it melts and makes the water colder.
What is an experiment about buoyancy?
Put something in a glass of water, and see if it floats.
Is a marble denser than water?
Yes if it floats. Does Marble float in water? If not then the answer is no.
An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?
liquid water is more dense than solid water
