It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume.
This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.

Do all objects float?
No, some sink.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
What objects will float sink then float?
A submarine
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Why some things float and other things sink?
Because of the objects density.
Why do some objects float and others do not?
because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink
Do all objects float or sink?
yes
Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Because of the comparative density. If the objects density is greater than water it will sink, if less then it will float.
If an objects weight is less than the boyant force will sink or float?
It will float.
Why does air haveweight?
Because air has weight, mass, and density objects will either sink or float in it. Some balloons will float for example.
