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)

How can you use the calculated value for density to determine whether an object is gold?
divide the objects mass by its volume.
How do you determine density of object?
1). Measure the objects mass and volume. 2). Divide the object's mass by its volume. The quotient is the object's density.
Does mass determine whether an object will float or sink?
The density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
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
How can you use density to determine whether an object wil float or sink in a fluid?
If the density of the object is less than the density of the water it is placed in, the object will float and vice versa.
What two forces determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Buoyancy and pressure determine whether the object floats or sinks.
How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
What is needed to determine whether an objects is in motion?
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
What 2 factors determine the density of an object?
The mass divided my the volume determine the density of an object
How can knowing an objects density help you to predict whether the object will float or sink in a fluid?
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
