If you put something in water it'll float because it has air in it and air is lighter then water causing it to float.
It'll will sink because it might have no air in it or it might have a hole in it causing water to go to in the object and pull it into the body of water surrounding the object.

( sometimes the object might have air in it but the object might be too heavy causing the object to sink)
objects that will not float unless you do something to it:
- heavy metal
- a piano
- a couch
- and many more
The density of the object causes it to sink or float. Density is the amount of matter or particles in a certain are. Water is 1/ml. If an object is less dense then water say 0.012g/cm3 it will float if it is more say 1.12g/cm3 is sinks in water. g ml cm3 all convert and equal the same
What else can I help you with?
Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
The tendency for an object to sink or float has to do with the object's density true or false?
True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
Does volume alone determine if a object can float or sink?
No, volume alone does not determine if an object can float or sink. It depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink.
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object 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
Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.
