Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
Why would a glass marble sink in water but floats in mercury?
The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
Does a thumb tack float or sink?

Why does a coin sink but a cruise ship floats?

Lead floats in mercury.
How do we decide if an object floats in water using density?
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
How could you determine if an object has greater density than water?
It will sink when you put it in water. If it floats it has less density then water.
Does an object less than 1.0 density sink?
No, it weighs less than water so it floats.
