When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
Comparing the of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
density
What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?
an object will float on a denser liquid
Comparing the what of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
Density.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
How an object floats in liquid?
i think you mean how does an object float if you did here is the answer most solids float on liquid because it has air in it (sponge) or it is lighter than the liquid.
What 2 factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
The density of the object and the density of the liquid. The object must be less dense than the liquid to float.

What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
