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.

What property allows ice to float?
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.
How are density and buoyancy are alike?
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.
Why do you think it's possible to float in the Great Salt Lake and sink in Horsetooth Resvoir?
Percentage salt content effects density and thus buoyancy
How does density affect earth's structure?
by wars and things like that
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
Does soap affect the buoyancy of water?
If it alters its density, yes.
How does the amount of salt added to the water affect buoyancy?
density
How does density affect buoyancy of an object?
If the average density of an object is less than water (1.0 g per mL) it will float in water, and if it is more than 1.0g/mL it will sink in water. So the lower the density, the greater the buoyancy.
What is the effect of density on the buoyancy of an object?
greater density tends to less buoyancy
How does object volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy for objects and substances?
The higher the density the lower the buoyancy.
When does an object have positive buoyancy?
A body has positive buoyancy when its density is lower than the density of the fluid the body is in.
What are facts about buoyancy?
buoyancy has to deal with density, gravity, air, and water
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of objects placed in the liquid?
Yea
Does buoyancy affect surface tension?
yes it does when they touch the particle dies(atomns)
How does density effect bouyancy?
Buoyancy is the ability to float, so if the density is high, it'll hold up something. (see? FLOATING. BUOYANCY.)
