Anything greater than the density of the water ... nominally 1.000, but often slightly different, depending on the temperature of the water and what's dissolved in it.

Why do some item float higher on the water than other?
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
At what density do things sink?
If density is greater than 1.0 then it will sink in water.
An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
Why do some item float higher on the water than other?
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
What makes an item to float or sink in water?
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.
Why does anything sink?
An item will sink if its overall density is greater that the density of the fluid in which it is placed
In order for an object to sink when placed in water the object's average density must be less?
no
Why does a penny sink in water?
water has a density of 1. For something to float, the density of the object would have to be under 1, and to sink, it must be over 1. If it is exactly 1, then the object will remain suspended in the water. A penny has a density of over 1, so it sinks in water.
does a coin sink or float?
The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.
At what density do things sink?
If density is greater than 1.0 then it will sink in water.
An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
An object has a density of 2gcmcubed will it sink or float?
It will sink. Water has a density of 1 gm/cm3.
Why was the man's sink in the water but some logs logs are sink in water some logs don't sink in water?
The man density more then water these means the mans are have some density more then water.
