Where does the ability of an object to float or submerge in water depends on?

ability of an object to float or submerge depends upon the density of the object and on the density of the liquid in which it is submerged if the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid then the object submerges in the liquid and when its density is less than the density of liquid then it floats on the liquid as in submarines when it takes water in its hollow tank its density increases and it submerges and when it pushes out water from its hollow tanks its density decreases and ot floats on water

Does an object's ability to float depend on its density?
Yes, it does depend on the object's density; it depends on the liquid's density, too. An object with a lower density than the liquid it is in will float, while an object with a heavier density than the liquid will sink.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
If the density of the water is more than the object will sink or float?
float (from a different answerer) It depends on what the object is.
If the density of the object is more than water will sink or float?
float (from a different answerer) It depends on what the object is.
If you want to make an object float in a liquid what must you do?
Put it in a bowl or tank.. then submerge it in water/liquid.. If it floats.. You succeed, if not.. Then you are a epic fail..
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
How much salt does it take for an object to float?
Depends what object - also depends on a few other factors.
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
How do you know if an object will float or sink in fresh water?
It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than fresh water, it will sink. If it is less dense than the fresh water, it will float.
What is the definition of bouyancy?
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.
