What force makes a ship float?
water resistance
Which force determines whether or not an object will float?
This is archemedies principle. This is a balance between the force on the water displaced by gravity compared to the force on the floating object due to gravity. That is if the average density of the object that whishes to float is less then water then it will float. If it is greater then it will sink.For a boat the average density is the average of the density of the hull and the air inside the hull.
What force is pushing up?
Bouyancy... its what makes things float in water.
The blank force determines wether or not an object will float?
The correct answer is buoyant not put it in water
What makes the object float in water?
Gravity Probably I don't know. -Jellyfish
How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in the water?
the buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes the object feel lighter

water resistance
When buoyant force due to water is greater than the weight of the object?
In that case, such an object will float.

What makes some things float?
Density of the object and buoyancy of the water/liquid.

An object less dense than water will in water?
The "average" density of the object must be less than that of the water displaced.
Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?
The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
Why does salt makes an object float?
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
