This great word or maybe even formula is called density.
If the density of water is 1, and your drop a stone which weighs 9.3 it will sink. But if it was 1 it would've floated, but if it was a liquid or an oil it would've mixed not floated!!!

Hope this helps!

How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
How can knowing an object's density help you predict whether the object will float or sink in a fluid?
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
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
How do you make an egg float in the air?
The higher the salt content in water the more an object will float. Check the related links for a science experiment that will also help you to experience how this works.
What is the procedure for a boat help it to float in water?

How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine wether an object made from that material will float in water?
If it is lower it will float
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
What two things help in determining if an object will float of sink?
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will slow in water?
I am assuming that you mean float (or sink) rather than "slow". Knowledge of density will not help - unless the object is compact. The density of iron is greater than that of water but ships made of iron will float.

How will the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will float in water?
The density of water is roughly 1 gram/cm3. If the density of the substance is less than that, then a solid lump of it can float. Otherwise it can't, but you can form the lump into shapes that can float, just as plate steel is formed into the shape of cruise ship or an aircraft carrier.
