The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.

If an object is less dense than the liquid it is put into it will?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
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.
If something has a density of one will it sink or float?
You don't have enough information for a substantive answer.
Will the object sink or float in water?
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
If a 25kg object is submerged and displaces 20kg of liquid the object will?
Sink. It's density will be greater than water, which is 1 kg per litre.
What are the object that sink in water?
object that sink in water
Does an object sink faster in water vinegar or vegatable oil?
why does an object sink
Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
Why things sink into water any why not?
An object will sink if it has a greater density than water. In this case, the weight of the water displaced by the object is less than the weight of the object.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
When will an object sink or float?
Object will sink when the area replaced by the object is less than the body of water and vice-versa .
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
How does an object sink or flot on wate?
If the object is less dense than water, the water will be able to keep it afloat. If the object is more dense than water, the water will not be able to keep it afloat, and it will sink.
If a object has air inside will it sink?
If an object has air in it than no it will not sink in water because air is less dense than water so it will rise in water.
When does an object sink in water?
An object will sink when it weighs more than the water it displaces (around 62 pounds per cu foot)
Does the denser object sink in water?
It depends! If it is more dense than water then it will sink. If not it will float.
When does an object sink Must the amount of water displaced be greater than or equal to the object?
An object will sink if its less then 1.0g/mL
