Objects with higher densities than water will sink in water. What they do in other substances depends on the densities of those substances.

How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
What density from a ping pong ball floating and a golf ball sinking?
The density of fresh water is 1.0. Anything with a density less than 1.0 will float; anything with a density higher than 1.0 will sink. Objects with densities a little less than 1 will float with most of the volume below the surface; objects with very low densities - like a ping-pong ball - will float mostly on top of the water. Human beings have a density very close to 1.0, so we barely float.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
How come things sink and float?
Objects sink or float depending upon their densities. For example wood floats on water because the density of wood is less than that of water, while a piece of iron would sink in water as its density is more than water.
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water; while objects that sink in water are more dense than water.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go

What principle is it when a brick doesn't float on water?
Archimedes' Principle. It all depends on the buoyant force and the densities of the two objects.
What density from a ping pong ball floating and a golf ball sinking?
The density of fresh water is 1.0. Anything with a density less than 1.0 will float; anything with a density higher than 1.0 will sink. Objects with densities a little less than 1 will float with most of the volume below the surface; objects with very low densities - like a ping-pong ball - will float mostly on top of the water. Human beings have a density very close to 1.0, so we barely float.
How does the salinity of water affect how well objects can float or sink in the water?
the higher the salinity the more easily an object can float
Why do some solids float on water while others sink?
The density of water is called "1.0" Certain objects have a mass greater than 1.0, therefore they will sink. Objects with densities less than 1.0 will float or remain partly submerged.
S block elements densities?
Densities of s block elements are less than water. They float on water.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
What are the densities between lemon and lime?
The densities between lemon and lime are quite different. When you put a lime in a bucket of water, it will sink while a lemon will easily float in the same water. A lime has a higher density than a lemon.
How come things sink and float?
Objects sink or float depending upon their densities. For example wood floats on water because the density of wood is less than that of water, while a piece of iron would sink in water as its density is more than water.
Objects float in water because water has an?
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
