How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
What principles allow fluids to float?
A liquid that is less dense than water will float - oil being one example.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
How an object floats in liquid?
i think you mean how does an object float if you did here is the answer most solids float on liquid because it has air in it (sponge) or it is lighter than the liquid.

What does flotation have to do with earth science?
Floatation is when one substance is suspended over another liquid or gas because of a difference in density. On Earth, the plates that form the crust float on the liquid magma underneath.
Will a boat float on liquid soap?
Yes the boat will float on liquid soap
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
What principles allow fluids to float?

What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Can you float on Pluto?
You can't float but you can fly. (Floating implies liquid, and Pluto has no liquid that we know of).
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?
An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
Why one object floated while the other sank to the bottom of the bowl?
An object will float if it has less density than water - or whatever liquid it's supposed to float on. Equivalently, it will float if it weighs less than the same volume of liquid. An object will sink otherwise - more density than the liquid.
