Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water,
then the object sinks in the water.

WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
What happens to a solid object when density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happens to a solid object with density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
Why would egg float in saltwater and and not freshwater?
Salt water has a higher density. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
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.
What are the principle of floating?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid it is placed in. Floating is the result of the fact that there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the floating object, than at the top.
How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of objects placed in the liquid?
Yea
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?
an object will float on a denser liquid
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
How can you use density to determine whether an object wil float or sink in a fluid?
If the density of the object is less than the density of the water it is placed in, the object will float and vice versa.
