A substance will sink in the water if it has more density than the density of water. The density of water is one. In order to any thing float in on the water it should displace the equal amount of water to the equal number of its mass. The substance with denser than water will sink in the water.

∙ 14y agoA substance would rise in water when the substance is less dense than the water itself. This is why ice floats. When water freezes, the molecules expand and become less dense than water in its liquid state

∙ 14y agoWater has a density of 1. Any object with a density of greater than 1 sinks, and less than 1 will float.
Now, density is calculated my dividing the mass of an object by its volume. Mass is measured with a balance or scale. Volume can either be measured by multiplying the length of the object by the width by the height of the object, or by measuring water displacement. The formula looks something like this:
Density = mass / volume

What determines if an abject will float or sinkin water?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float.
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
What are things that will sink in water?
weights, rocks, EARRINGS, fabric, broken boats, computers, houses... Anything that has a surface area, which displaces less water than the mass of the object, will sink. For example, water can support a 1 cubic foot object up 62.4lbs (in freshwater). If the object weighs more than that, but keeps the same dimensions, the water can no longer support it and that object will sink. If the object remains at 62.4lbs, but becomes less than 1 cubic foot, the object will sink, because it is displacing less 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.
What are the object that sink in water?
object that sink in water
Does an object sink faster in water vinegar or vegatable oil?
why does an object sink
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.
Why things sink into water any why not?
An object will sink if it has a greater density than water. In this case, the weight of the water displaced by the object is less than the weight of the object.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
When will an object sink or float?
Object will sink when the area replaced by the object is less than the body of water and vice-versa .
What affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
How does an object sink or flot on wate?
If the object is less dense than water, the water will be able to keep it afloat. If the object is more dense than water, the water will not be able to keep it afloat, and it will sink.
If a object has air inside will it sink?
If an object has air in it than no it will not sink in water because air is less dense than water so it will rise in water.
When does an object sink in water?
An object will sink when it weighs more than the water it displaces (around 62 pounds per cu foot)
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.
When does an object sink Must the amount of water displaced be greater than or equal to the object?
An object will sink if its less then 1.0g/mL
