The "average" density of the object must be less than that of the water displaced.
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
Any object placed in water will be pulled down into the liquid by gravity. But an object less dense than water will only be pulled down until the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Then it will float. The water will be pushing up equal to the force of gravity pulling down - an equilibrium. Any object that weighs less than its own volume of water will float. It's lower overall density will result in buoyancy.
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
If the density of the unknown is more than the density of water , it will sink If the density of the unknown is less than the density of water, it will float. Things do not float unless their densities are below that of water which is 1.00 g/ml.
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water, which is approximately 1000 kg/m^3. This means that the object must be less dense than water in order to float.
No, an object will float if it is less dense than water. If an object is less dense than water, it will displace an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float.
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.

To determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water, you compare their densities. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. If the solid object has a density greater than 1 g/cm^3, it is more dense than water and will sink. If its density is less than 1 g/cm^3, it is less dense than water and will float.
Being less dense than water means that an object will float on water. This occurs when the object's mass per unit volume is lower than that of water. Objects less dense than water will displace an amount of water equal to their weight, causing them to float.
You can determine if a solid object is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the object is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the object will sink in water. If the density of the object is less than the density of water, then it will float.
