If it is less dense, it will float
If it is denser, it will sink.

What happen if an object has a lower density than other putting them in water?
The less dense object will submerge LESS than the denser object...UNLESS they both are so dense that they BOTH TOTALLY SINK.
Does an object that is more dense than the fluid on which it is immersed floats to the surface?
True(;
How do you find density of an object in water?
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
Does the weight of an object immersed in liquid effect the buoyant force on the objects why?
The same object is more buoyant in a denser fluid, and is more likely to float, than in a less dense one. That's why tennis balls float in water but not in air.
Why would a denser fluid exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would?
A denser fluid would exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would because of the pressure differences. A denser fluid would have a greater pressure difference, therefore greater buoyancy, and exerting stronger pressure on the object.

How dense does water have to be for an object to float?
Denser than the object.

True(;
What is the force that determines whether or not the object will float?
It it not about force. It is about Density. If a Solid object is denser than the liquid you place it in,it will sink . If it is less Dense than the liquid , it will float. All objects immersed in a liquid, experience an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.

If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
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.

What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.
Will a denser object go through something easier then a less dense object at the same speed?
Yes that is why bullets are made of lead and not foam rubber.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
