Why does garlic powder sink?
Garlic powder sinks because it's denser than air. Here's why:
* Density: Density is the amount of mass packed into a given volume. Garlic powder has a higher density than air. This means that even a small amount of garlic powder has more mass than the same volume of air.
* Gravity: Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. Because garlic powder is denser than air, gravity pulls it down more strongly, causing it to sink.
Think of it this way:
Imagine a tiny, lightweight balloon filled with air. It floats because it's less dense than the air around it. Now imagine that same balloon filled with tiny, heavy sand particles. The sand is much denser, so it sinks because gravity pulls it down harder.
Garlic powder is like the sand - it's denser than air, so it falls to the bottom.
