This has got to do with weight and density.

A ping pong ball is extreemely light.

A Golf ball is heavy.

If the golfball sinks, that mean that Water of the same volume weigh less. IE the golfball is heavier than water.

Why a ball of steel sinks but boat made of steel floats?

The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks


Why does a steel ball sink in water but a toy ship made of steel floats?

Density of a steel ball is greater than the den. Of h2o - it sinks similarly den. Of a toy ship is less than the den. Of h2o - it floats

Why does a ball full of air float and not one that is not inflated?

A ball filled with air floats because the air trapped inside it creates buoyancy, which pushes against the force of gravity. An uninflated ball does not have this air-filled buoyant force, so it sinks in water.


Is a beach ball less dense than water?

I can't see the specific ball you're dealing with. If it sinks in water, then it's more dense than water. If it floats on water, then it's less dense than water.


Why a ball made of steel sinks in water while a boat made of steel easily sails in water?

according to Archemidies principle ,"when a body is dipped in water its weight is reduced , this reduction in weight s eqivalent to the volume of water which replaced by the body." when a steel ball dropped in water the weight of replaced water by the ball is less than weight of the ball , so the ball sinks. But in the same condition the volume of water replaced by the boat is more wieghy in comparision to the weigh of boat , hence it floats. The term for this is Bouyance. It also explains why a Dirigible(Zeppelin) airship floats in the air. The Volume of Dirigible weighs less than the Air it displaces. Believe it or not, the same is true for Steel Ships. What I find hard to fathom is how a Ship full of heavy crude Oil floats?


What happens to a ball when it is placed in a liquid that is denser than the ball?

It floats.


A solid rubber with a mass of 5.9 grams sinks A hollow rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 floats Why?

Because the hollow ball is larger than the solid one. It displaces enough of the fluid to equal its weight, so it floats.


Will a ball sink or float with a radius of 8.00cm and a mass of 600g?

The ball will sink. Whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density compared to the fluid it is placed in. Given the density of water (1.00 g/cm^3), a ball with a radius of 8.00 cm and a mass of 600 g will have a density greater than that of water, causing it to sink.


Why does an aluminum ball sink and a piece of foil float?

Oh, dude, it's all about density, man. The aluminum ball sinks because it's more dense than water, like a lead balloon at a party. The foil floats because it's less dense, kind of like that one friend who always manages to stay afloat in any situation. So, it's basically science doing its thing, you know, making sure things don't get too boring.

Even though a bowling ball weighs less than a metal-hull ship a bowling ball in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?

The water that the hull in ship displaces is way more heavier than the hull itself, so the water surface holds the ship floating... If you had a bowling ball made of hull-material it would sink anyway.. What it does that the ship floats is the amount of displaced water, which in weight is going to be higher than the floating object's weight itself...
