The density of the object and the density of the liquid. The object must be less dense than the liquid to float.

An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
how can wood float on oil but not a bottle?
ans.1. wood can be float on oil because it is a thick, hard, and heavy object. 2.the bottle can not float on oil because it is not thick, hard, and, not heavy object. that's why it can not float
How can a heavy object float in waer?
An object will float if its DENSITY (mass divided by volume) is less than water - or whatever liquid it is supposed to float on.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.

Shape and density

Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.

When trying to determine mass of a heavy object use a?
h
What can you do to heavy objects to make them float?
An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low. For this purpose, its mass should be less and volume should be greater(d=m/v), so to make heavy objects to float, their volume should be as less as possible.

Why is an object too heavy on the earth can be lifted easily on the moon give reasons?
Because in space its makes things float
Why is it inaccurate to say heavy objects sink and light objects float?
Because it is all about the physical concept of Density . You should say that an object will float if it's Density is lower than the Density of the fluid you choose to put it into . Example. Aluminum will float in Mercury liquid, because it is less dense than Mercury, yet you might refer to Aluminum as a heavy object , depending upon what other substance you are comparing it to.
