Why do some object sink when placed in water?
That Depends upon a principle Buoyancy.That means that the object placed in water should have density (particles per unit volume) less than that of water to float or else it will sink. Like when we will put a plastic block in water it will sink but when a bottle made of same plastic block is put in water it floats because it have comparatively lower density to the block due to air.
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Why do objects sink when placed in water?
Only objects having a density higher than the density of a liquid sink.

Yes, calcium does sink in water

Will silver float or sink in water?
no gold does not float in water because it has a density higher than 1 which is the density for water. Therefore, it sinks.rofl
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
If a block of ice has the density of 0.97gcm3 how much of it will sink below the water?
97% will sink below the water
What happens when an object is placed in water?
it will sink of it will float.
An object most likely sink in water if it has low density?
The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.

Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?
float
What would sink first when placed in water?
A sample with high density.
