Most likely, the object will be suspended, that is, stay in the middle of the water.

What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in 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.
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.
How much does the density have to be for something to sink?
Answer: More than 1.0 Answer: More than the density of the liquid in which the object is placed. For example, water has a density of about 1000 kg/m3; any object with a greater density than this will sink if placed in water. If you place something in oil, the numbers are different.
What would happen if you tried to find the density of an object with a density less than water?
If an object was less denser than water it would float
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
What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
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.
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 will happen to an object placed in a tub of water if it has a density greater than 1.0 g cm3?
The object will sink because the object is denser than water.
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.
In order for an object to sink when placed in water the object's average density must be less?
no
What happends to a solid object with a density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats
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.
An object with a density of 5.5gml is put in water what will happen to the object and why?
it will sink because it has a higher density than water which is 1 g/ml
