First, what will the object be floating on? The principal to your question is: for an object to float, its density must be equal to or less than the density of the liquid on which it is to float. A brick will float on top of Mercury, because mercury is more dense than the brick. A cork will float on water because the cork is less dense than water. The same works for gases. An aluminum baking pan will float on the invisible gas sulfurhexaflouride because SF6 gas is more dense than the baking pan.
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
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
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
No. An object will sink if its DENSITY is greater than that of the liquid (or gas) in which you place it.
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
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
Because that's how life is. If the density is greater than the density of water it will sink. If less, it will float.
If its density is less than 1 it will float in water. If its density is more than 1, it will sink in water.

No. An object will sink if its DENSITY is greater than that of the liquid (or gas) in which you place it.
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
If an object is less dense then water, it will float assuming the object does not absorb the water there by increasing its density.
the buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes the object feel lighter
