If a object has buoyancy it floats. A object also needs to have a density less dense than the object you want it to float on. Example: if you want a inner tube to float and jewelry to sink you make them out of different materials.
Density is mass per volume. For instance, a 1 ml sample of pure water at 4 degrees C is about 1 mg, for a density of 1 mg/ml.
Buoyancy, on the other hand, is related to density of both the sample and the material it is contained in. If the density of the sample is smaller, the sample will float; if it is greater, it will sink.
Due to hydrogen bonds, the density of water decreases as it freezes (decrease starts at 4oC). To see a full explanation of why ice floats in water, see the related question below.
Percentage salt content effects density and thus buoyancy
Ignoring shapes (using cubes), density (mass/volume) greater than "water" means it sinks. The floating object displaces its weight of the buoyant "object" (water, etc.)when it floats, but displaces its volume when it sinks.
conduction is transfer of energy due to direct contact, convection is due to density differences

The buoyancy of an object is affected by its density relative to the density of the fluid it is immersed in. An object with a higher density than the fluid will sink, while an object with a lower density will float. Increasing the density of an object will decrease its buoyant force and make it more likely to sink.
Density and buoyancy are inversely related. Objects or substances with higher density than the fluid they are placed in will sink, while objects with lower density will float. This is due to the buoyant force exerted on an object being equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, which is dependent on the density of both the object and the fluid.
A body has positive buoyancy when its density is lower than the density of the fluid the body is in.
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid, such as water or air. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, according to Archimedes' principle. Objects will float if their density is less than the density of the fluid they are placed in, and sink if their density is greater.
Yea
Buoyancy is the ability to float, so if the density is high, it'll hold up something. (see? FLOATING. BUOYANCY.)
buoyant force
Buoyancy is the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object immersed in it. It is affected by the density of the fluid and the density of the object. If the object's density is less than the fluid, it will float because the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight. If the object's density is greater than the fluid, it will sink.
Buoyancy is linked to density, density being how much material is packed into an object of a certain size. Objects with less density will generally be buoyant in more dense objects.
Objects that displace a volume of fluid equal to their own weight will experience buoyancy. This applies to objects including boats, buoys, beach balls, and even icebergs. Additionally, any object immersed in a fluid will experience buoyancy, regardless of its actual weight.
Buoyancy increases when the object displaces more water than its weight, resulting in upward force. This can happen with lower density materials or larger volumes. Buoyancy decreases with higher densities or smaller volumes, causing the object to sink.
No, buoyancy and density are not the same thing. Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Buoyancy depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is in.
