How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How does a water lilys disperse?
The water lily disperses its seeds in the water. The flower produces a fruit that floats in water for a while. It then sinks down to the bottom to take root at the bottom of a pond of other body of water.

Why does a body float in water?
A body floats in water because it is less dense than water.
Why do a dead body floats in water even it is heavier than the living body?
Its density, not weight that counts when deciding what floats.
Is the human body density greater than 1 grams per milliliter?
It can be if it is lean. If it is fat no. Note that water is 1 gram per mL. If an object floats it is less than 1g/mL If it sinks in water it is greater than 1g/mL
Why does a human body float?
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
Why a ball made of steel sinks in water while a boat made of steel easily sails in water?
according to Archemidies principle ,"when a body is dipped in water its weight is reduced , this reduction in weight s eqivalent to the volume of water which replaced by the body." when a steel ball dropped in water the weight of replaced water by the ball is less than weight of the ball , so the ball sinks. But in the same condition the volume of water replaced by the boat is more wieghy in comparision to the weigh of boat , hence it floats. The term for this is Bouyance. It also explains why a Dirigible(Zeppelin) airship floats in the air. The Volume of Dirigible weighs less than the Air it displaces. Believe it or not, the same is true for Steel Ships. What I find hard to fathom is how a Ship full of heavy crude Oil floats?
How is the weight of water displaced by a floating body related to the weight of the body itself?
As the body floats then the weight of the body and weight of displaced liquid would be equal to each other. Hence it floats
Why does a needle sink but a boat float?
The total weight of the surface area of a boat is less than than the weight of a body of water of the same size (buoyancy), so that is why it floats. A needle sinks because a body of water with the same size is lighter than the needle. Note: It is entirely possible to float a needle on water. It requires a bit of doing, but it can be done.
Why does a steel ball sink in water?
In water, a metal spoon sinks. In water, a plastic spoon floats.
