Whether your foot is on it or not.
no, what determines whether they will float or not is their density
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
No, a marble will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water.
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
Whether a pen floats or sinks in water depends on its material. A plastic pen will typically float, while a metal pen will likely sink. The density of the material determines whether an object will float or sink in water.
density!
Oak wood is less dense than water, which allows it to float. In contrast, paraffin is denser than water, causing it to sink. This difference in density determines whether an object will float or sink in water.
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. If the object's density is greater than that of water, it will sink. This is because objects that are less dense than water displace enough water to generate an upward buoyant force that exceeds their weight, allowing them to float.
no that's density
It is the displacement of the vessels weight and the freeboard remaining of a vessel that determines whether a vessel will float and or sink. A ship will float higher on salt water (salt water is denser) than if on fresh water (less dense).
The buoyant force determines whether an object will float. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, and if the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will float.
