How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
Why do some objects float in fluids but others don't?
Any object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid,and it'll sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an objects density is 1 or less, it will float on water
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)

Why do some objects float in fluids but others don't?
Any object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid,and it'll sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid.
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an objects density is 1 or less, it will float on water
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Because of the comparative density. If the objects density is greater than water it will sink, if less then it will float.
