and the cube floats. Which explains why this might be?
The objects probably have different surface areas.



The objects probably have different densities.



In general, cubes float better than spheres because they are flatter.

The objects have different densities
They objects may possess the same volume; however, due to a difference in density, they do not possess the same mass within that volume. This means that they experience a different gravitational force, which causes one to sink and the other to float.

Explanation:

So after one second, the acceleration of the ball is 9.8 m/s² and its velocity is 9.8 m/s. When you throw the ball upward, that acceleration is still 9.8 m/s².

These little bunnies (A, B, and C) were born in the same litter to the same parents, but they have different traits for the feat
RUDIKE [14]

Answer/Explanation:

We each inherit 2 versions of a gene from our parents: one from the mother and one from the father.

However,  our mother and father also have 2 versions of each gene. So the one we end up inheriting is random, like a coin toss. This is true for each parent.

Say the mother has one version of the gene that gives thick ears (A), and one version of the gene that gives thin ears (a). So she is Aa.

Say the father has the same, and he is also Aa.

The father can pass on either A or a, and the mother can pass on either A or a.

So their children can either be AA, Aa, or aa. AA would give thick ears, and aa would give thin ears. Aa gives an intermediate thickness like in bunny B. This is an example of incomplete dominance
