What force makes objects sink?
The earth's gravitational pull makes objects sink in a liquid, but buoyancy acts in the opposite direction to oppose the gravity. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on which force is bigger. ================================
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
What causes object sink?

What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?

How does density affect objects that sink?
Density affects objects because the density makes the object either flout, sink or stay in the middle. I hope that can help you. Sorry if it is wrong :(
What makes certain substances float and others sink?
Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.
