Yes, it does depend on the object's density; it depends on the liquid's density, too.
An object with a lower density than the liquid it is in will float, while an object with a heavier density than the liquid will sink.

What property of matter determines an objects ability to float?
Density
'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
How does density determine an objects ability to float in water?
when some thing is less dense than the liquid it floats
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density 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
What is the objects ability to float?
buoyancy
Which things float on water and which sinks into it?
Objects whose aggregate density is less than the density of water float in it. Objects whose aggregate density is greater than the density of water sink in it.
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
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.
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.
