Do heavy objects float?

Heavy objects generally sink when placed in water because the density of the object is greater than that of water, causing it to displace less water and sink. For an object to float, it must displace an amount of water equal to its own weight.


Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?

It is inaccurate because whether an object sinks or floats in water depends on its density. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink, while those with a density less than water will float. Size and weight alone do not determine whether an object will sink or float.


Why can you lift heavy objects in water easily than to air?

You can lift heavy objects more easily in water than in air because water provides more buoyant force than air due to its higher density. This buoyant force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter in water.

Objects that are denser than water can sink, such as rocks, metal, or certain types of wood. Additionally, some objects that are initially buoyant may sink if they become waterlogged or if their weight increases.
