I approve. ^^

Cooooooooookiemonster!

I made a mistake. I thought the rubber ball will float. Three correct, one wrong. :|

TBH no idea how you'd come to that conclusion. One look at the way they divided the four objects made me realize that the rubber ball couldn't float. (I took the rubber ball first, so I only realized that afterwards, so don't accuse me of cheating! :lol: )
In any case, why would it float? There's no air trapped inside the ball (unlike the coconut and the duck) and it's so dense that it absolutely HAS to sink. But granted, it was the hardest.
Still, why?

I found the fruits, difficult too. :3

You see, it has to do with the hidrostatic colunm pressure. Because the density of the water is lower than that of a rubber band, it acumulates a grater column pressure than the rubber band, making the pressure on the bottom of the rubber band be bigger then the pressure on top of the rubber band plus the weight over area of the rubber band, and therefore acording to the newtons law relating aceleration and force it will go up.
<<<< LOLS!

But... but... why?

 

[lrkun]

I found the fruits difficult because I didn't know if it would float or if it would sink. ^^

Well obviously. My question is "why would they sink?".

*glares @ Master_Ghost_Knight"

 

[MineMineMine]

damn those rubber duck sink denialists!




edit:
fruits that grow close to lots of water are very likely to float simply because it's an evolutionary advantage. whilst those who grow inland or far from water are less likely because the fruit floating could be considered as a neutral property, neither costing extra energy nor giving an advantage

Fucking lime. I said it would float but it bloody sank! Gaaah! Intellectually beaten by Sesame Street.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

 

[Duvelthehobbit666]

All they need to do now is talk about string theory.

Ok, but what I want to know is: will Christine O' Donnell sink or float? Experiment!

She will melt in water :lol:

Ah, of course. The Wicked Witch of the West! :lol:

That doesn't answer the question. :arrow: Is the resulting fluid more or less dense than water? :lol:

 

[Duvelthehobbit666]

Is the resulting fluid more or less dense than water?

Haven't seen the Wizard of Oz often enough to be able to determine that. I thought it was sublimation but that is not directly said in the movie. Those who are more versed in this movie might be able to tell more.

Extremely dense, judging by what I see/hear from her.

 

[Pulsar]

Hmm, I agree. She went up in smoke, didn't she?

I absolutely loved the animated series of Oz as a kid... brings back so much memories
