Items float on water because they are less dense than water that it floats on.
less than water different objects have varying densities
objects that are less dense float to the top.
Styrofoam is lighter than water, so it floats. In nature, heavy objects are more effected by gravity, so they are forced down.
Mass b > mass a
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
Objects that are denser than water, do not float on water. Water= 0.9grams repeated or even 1.0grams.
when some thing is less dense than the liquid it floats
ya mamma 2nd answer: that's not really an appropriate answer, but the answer to that is is it floats, the water, if it doesn't float, then I don't know.
Density of oil is less than water, all objects having density lower than water float in water.
It is incorrect to say that heavy objects sink in water because... A big slab of wood is heavy, right? Wood floats. For one example.
Yes. It floats on water
