How can you make a piece of iron metal float?
if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.
What do yodo to make an egg float?
To make an egg float in water, you can increase the density of the water by dissolving salt in it. When you add enough salt, the buoyancy of the water increases and the egg will float.
Can helium make you float?
Helium can make objects and people appear to float because it is less dense than air. When helium-filled balloons are released, they rise due to the buoyant force acting on them. However, helium itself does not have the ability to make humans float on its own.

Why will a penny float in cooking oil?

Can you make a penny float?
No, pennies are too heavy to float on water due to their density. However, you can create the illusion of a floating penny by carefully balancing it on the surface tension of the water.
How can a penny float?
A penny will not float in water, mainly because it is denser than water. When the penny is placed in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. Since the penny weighs more than the water it displaces, it will sink.So, in order for the penny to float, you must find a liquid that is denser than solid copper -- or whatever metal or alloy a penny is made of. Mercury -- which is a liquid at room temperature -- is denser than copper. Hence, a penny will float in mercury.Possibly surface tension may allow it to float.
Why does a boat float in salt water but not a penny?
penny's aren't tall enough!
Why doesn't a penny float in the water?

Why will the penny float if you toss it in a wishing well full of a liquid denser than the coin?

Does a new penny float in hcl?
when the penny is reacted with HCl, there must be somesort of area where the copper on the outside of the penny is removed so that the HCl can react with the zinc inside because HCl does not react with copper. Once the HCl reacts with the Zn inside, it will dissapear and therefore become less dense then the ZnCl2 that is formed which causes the penny to float
Why does a penny sinks in water whereas ships doesnot sink in water?
All pure metal sinks, only by entrapping air in waterproof compartments can you make it (ships) float.

Why would a golf ball float on water and not a penny?

How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
