It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.

Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
Why does some food float and some food not?
Whether an object floats or not depends on its density. Density is the amount of mass in a volume, or mass divided by volume. If and object's density is less than that of water, it will float in water, and if an objects density is higher than that of water, it will sink in water. raw material (fishballs will sink down);but it will floats when it is cook. why
Does sponge sink in water?
Objects float or sink because of their density. An example of an object with low density is a sponge, as it has loads of air bubbles in it, and will float. An example of an object with high density is a brick. This is because the brick doesn't have any air trapped in it, it is "packed in", and is more dense than water, therefore it will sink.
Why do some solids sink and some solids float?
Anything heavier than water sinks; anything lighter than water floats. Or, another way to say it: anything with a higher density than water (water weighs about a gram per cubic centimeter), or a higher specific gravity than water, sinks. If the object weighs less than the weight of water that it displaces, then it floats.
Do all fruits float in water.?
== Yes because the volume of water displaced by a cherry is enough that the buoyant force of the water is able to counteract the force of the cherry's weight.==
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
Why do some objects float and others do not?
because some objects are much denser(heavier) than water so they sink
Do all objects float?
No, some sink.
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
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.
When and why some objects float just beneath the surface of water and also is there a limit at which depth they can continue to float underwater?
If the object density is higher than water, it will sink.
Why some objects float and some sink?
Those object which have low density then water like wood, ice etc. can flow and those with high density get sink..
Why some objects sink and some float?
Those object which have low density then water like wood, ice etc. can flow and those with high density get sink..
Does sulfur sink or float?
Sulphur will float on water.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
It all depends on the density of the object. If an object was less dense than water, then it will float. If an object is more dense than water, then it will sink.
What does buoyanay mean?
this is the concept that explains why some objects float on water while others sink. it all deals with density.
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
