I often see 浮く in contexts relating to floatability, like:

```

    氷は水に浮きます
    
```

However, sometimes I see 浮く used where I'd use 浮かぶ. When should one be used
over the other? Are there any cases where both are acceptable?

question
word-choice
What's the difference between 浮かぶ and 浮く?
浮く to float, float to the surface. 「魚が浮いた」 「泡が浮く」 「木が水に浮く」 「空に浮く」

浮かぶ to be floating at a surface, float with no movement (think of the かぶ like
~ている）。 「氷が浮かぶ」 「白雲が浮かぶ」
