How does a pumpkin float?

Answer 1

Every object that occupies space has buoyancy. In water, for example, every object

is pushed up by a force equal to the weight of the water that would fill the space that

it occupies. If that space is big enough, and the amount of water it pushes aside is

great enough, then the force can be equal to the object's weight. When this happens,

the object is said to be "floating".

It should not be surprising to see a pumpkin in this situation, considering that a

steel cargo ship is also capable of 'floating', even if heavily loaded with pumpkins.

Answer 2

they float because they mostly have air and the guts don't weigh that much

Answer 3

Yes. Ripening pumpkins have hollow pockets around their seeds.

Answer 4

because all of the heavy insides from the pumkin are gone , so it is lighter to float.

Answer 5

Take the guts out and I'm 99% sure they do.

Answer 6

it floats because it has air inside

Answer 7

Yes
