How dense must an object be to float in the water?

Less dense than the water.


What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?

float


What are the objects that can float on water?

Any object that is less dense than water will float.


What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?

The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.


Will an object that has a density of 0.5gmcubed will it float or sinkfloat or sink?

Any submerged object that have less dense than the water it will float. Therefore your submerged object probably will float because it has less dense than the water. I hope my answer helped you.=)


How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?

If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.


How much water should you use to make an object float?

That depends what object you want to float.


When should an object float into a liqud?

An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.


How do we decide if an object floats in water using density?

If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.


What would happen if an object was less dense than water?

It would float in water.


How does density affect an object to float?

Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.


How is it possible to predict if an object will sink or float based on density of the object?

If an object is less dense then water, it will float assuming the object does not absorb the water there by increasing its density.
