Question

Can anyone help me with steps? Thank you.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Whether an object will sink or float in a given liquid depends on the density of the object and of the liquid under consideration.

1. If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid, the object will sink, and if its density is less than that of the liquid, it will float.

• The pencil shavings and foam would float in water because their densities are less than that of water.

• The ball of cotton would also float initially because cotton as a lot of air spaces and air is lighter than water.

• It would sink after soaking up in water because the air in it was displaced by water.
