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 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.
What are the conditions to a object to sink?
Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced
What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?
An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.
Is buoyancy and density the same?
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink

Why do some things float and some dont?
A floating object has a density less than what it is floating in. If an object has more density than the medium it is placed in, the medium will be unable to hold the object. The object will, therefore, sink.
Why do some objects float or sink relative to other objects?
If the weight of the fuild displaced becomes more than the weight of the body placed within a fluid then floating takes place.
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume

Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced
Did Germany sink the Titanic?
No, it hit an iceberg Edit: But Germany placed the iceburg there.
How is floating related in density of material?
If an object is less dense than the substance it is placed in, it will float. For example, a sponge is less dense than water, so will float. However, if you squeeze the sponge underwater so that it has no air left in it, it will sink, as it will be the same density as the water.
A text box can be placed anywhere in the document as a?
Floating Text.

A block is placed in a tank of water and floats as shown The water level rises to height Δh1 The block is then taken out and a block of the same weight but smaller volume that also floats is placed?
Archimedes principle states that a floating body displaces its own weight of water. The density of the water is fixed so the volume displaced by a floating body is is the same for floating bodies of the same weight. The water level will still be delta h1 as the volume of the block is not relevant to the amount of water displaced.
What starts with the letter i and is in a sub sandwich?
Iceberg lettuce is frequently placed on a sub sandwich. It begins with the letter i.
