Objects will float on water because they aren't as dense as the water itself. A ship will float because there are a lot of compartments filled with air, which is not as dense as water.
The above answer is also valid but according to the Archimedes Principle, the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.

How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
What things will float in salt water and not in fresh water?
An egg is one such thing.
Why do things float if there is more density in the water?
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.
Controlled variable of the egg flotation?
it is when a egg float on the matter of something making it float.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
What are bobwhites?

Why does salt water make things float?
salt makes the water denser, so things that are now less dense than the salt water will float
How do things float?

What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
Why do thing float higher in salt water the?
Due to high density of sea water things float higher in sea water.
Which property of water allows things to float?
The property of water that allows things to float is buoyancy. Water exerts an upward force on objects placed in it, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the objects down. This buoyant force is what allows objects to float in water.
Why are there things that don't float on water?
An object's density is related to its weight and size. If the density is less than that of water, it will float on the water. If it is greater than that of water, it will sink. Water is not very dense - most things don't float on water. This is because they are denser than it and it cannot support them.
Which force allows things to float in water?
nothing
Do less dense things float in water?
Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.
Why does only light things float in salt water?
Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.
