A metal boat, on its own metal would sink but in the form of a boat-with the overall mass spread out and pockets of air making up most of the interiors- will not sink.

It isn't really a question of density it is a question of construction.

because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink

A 10g weight would sink in water as it is heavier than the water it displaces. Objects float when they are less dense than the liquid they are placed in.


Will something weighing 1kg float in water?

No, 1kg object will sink in water because it is heavier than the water it displaces, causing it to have a greater density than water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the fluid they are placed in.


Why object float in water?

Objects float because the air in the object causes it to rise because it is less denser than water. Objects float better in salt water because the salt makes the water more denser helping even heavier objects to float. -Kimberly P.S. I learned all this in 4th grade!!!!!!!!!!!

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, so they displace enough water to counteract the force of gravity pulling them down. Objects that sink are denser than water and displace less water than their weight, causing them to be pulled down by gravity.
