Will items with a density of greater than 1 sink or float when placed in water?
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
Can plywood float?
It depends on theplywood density if it is denser then water then you would have to make a shape causing it to displace an equal or greater amount of water in weight for it to float.
Why does a fork sink?
To float on water the object should have density less than that of water. But fork have density that is much more greater than that of water.Thus, a fork sinks in water.
Will a paper float?
As long as it can displace a volume of water equal to its mass (ie its density is less than that of the water) it will float. Most paper will have a density less than that of water (or can be so folded) so will float.
Why do ping pong balls float?
If they float in water, then it is because the density of a ping pong ball is lighter than the density of water. The density of water is just below 1, and the density of a ping pong ball is much less than 1.
