Do toenails sink or float?
Toenails float because of low amount of density
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
In a float and sink experiment, the density of the liquid is considered a dependent variable. When the density is low, the solid may sink more easily.
Why do some things float and som things sinks?
Because of density difference. High density causes the body to sink and low density makes the things to float on the surface.
Why some objects float and some sink?
Those object which have low density then water like wood, ice etc. can flow and those with high density get sink..

An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
How do scuba divers use density?
Divers use substances with high density (ie. lead) to help them sink, and substances with low density (ie. air) to help them float. That way they control their bouyancy.
If you have low density will you sink?
You probably won't, but it depends what your definition of "low density" is. The denser the object the more likely it is to sink.
Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?
Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float
Can a brick float?
Objects denser than water will sink; objects less dense than water will float. Since aluminum metal has a density of around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water has a density of 1.0, a solid block of aluminum would sink.
Which planet has its density so low that it could float in water?
Saturn has a very low density and it would be able to float on water. The density of Saturn is: 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter.
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water true or false?
Well, a dead body may sink in water then float, because the bodily gases will later bring the body back up to the surface after a little bit of decomposition.Other than dead bodies, no solid object will sink then float in water.Submarines might also fit the bill, if your not sticky about the methods.
