Another reason behind the floating of the apple is those air pockets that are in between the cells of an apple which allow enough air to be captured inside the apple. This is why an overall low density is created which makes the apple’s density less than that of water.
Q. Will dish soap float in water?
Water molecules cling strongly to one another by forming these bonds from one molecule to another. Surfactants such as dish soap break up water’s surface tension. As a result, objects floating in water will sink or change shape as the surface tension changes.

Q. Which weighs more water or ice?
No, water and ice do not weigh the same. For example, if we take the same volume of water and ice in the same container, water would weigh more than ice. The reason is that water is denser than ice and the space it occupies is less as compared to that occupied by ice.
Q. Will an apple float in water?
Pumpkins and apples float in the water because they are less dense than the water – meaning they are buoyant.
Q. Does a tomato float in water?
Tomatoes are one type of vegetable that is more dense than water, so they sink instead of float.
Q. Will bananas float in water?
Bananas will float in water because water is denser than bananas.
Q. What were the flying fish in Life of Pi?
Flying fish do not exactly fly, but are able to glide above the surface of the ocean for long distances when escaping predators. Pi throws the fish towards the tiger in hopes that he could use food to train it. However, the fish falls into the water, managing to escape Richard Parker’s jaws.
Q. Can scissors float in water?
Light objects are pushed back to the surface by an object’s upthrust. If the item is too heavy, the upthrust will not be strong enough to push it up, causing it to sink. For example, many children noted that the scissors are made of metal and the metal is heavy, causing the scissors to sink.
Q. Which story in Life of Pi is true?
Pi knows the story is not true, and he knows his mother died in that lifeboat. He took revenge and did desperate things in a desperate situation. Hence people story is the choice. As said the event could have evoked the ‘survival’ instincts of Pi which is metaphor to the tiger and it left him the moment he was safe.
Q. Did PI eat a human?
After noticing his French accent, however, Pi realizes the man is not a tiger. But after Pi apologizes for no longer having the banana (because an orangutan distracted him), the man leaps onto Pi’s boat to strangle and eat him.
Q. Why did Richard Parker not look back?
Like his story, some may prefer to live an empirical life, or some may prefer a more theoretical life. One final point: Why didn’t Richard Parker look back? This was done to showcase the lesson Pi’s father taught him—’Richard Parker is not your friend, he is a wild animal.
Q. Did PI kill his family?
On realizing that the ship is sinking, Pi tries to search his family, but a crew member throws him onto a lifeboat where he watches helplessly as the ship sinks, killing his family and its crew.
