Their density must be thinner than the density of the matter which they are flowing on. For example water is denser than wood, so wood floats on water. And air is denser than helium, so helium filled balloons float, or fly upwards until they reach the height were air is thin enough so it's density is the same as heliums.

What influence will the size of the surface and the mass of a floating object have on the floating ability of the object?
The density is important; for floating an object must have a density under the water density (1 g/cm3).
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or the lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
How do you predict the density of a floating object?
By its size
What do you notice about the density of floating objects?
Usually the density of floating object will be less than that of the liquid in which it is floating. But exception is that ship made up of iron will float in less dense water. Becasue a large amount of water will be displaced due to the specific construction of the ship. The weight of the displaced water will be more than the floating ship.
How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it

If a substance is floating does it have more or less mass?
mass of a substance is constant at any place in the universe.the reason for floating is its density is less than density of medium in which it is floating

What force keeps ice floating in water?
the density
Does the water density affect floating?
Yes, water density will affect an object's ability to float.
When a submarine pumps water out of its floating tanks its density decrease and it floats why does its density decrease?
Density = mass / volume. If the mass decreases, the density decreases.

What property of matter is affected by the sinking and floating of an object?
its density
Why oil floating in water?
Oil density of water is lower.
