What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?

-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.

What happens when something is more dense then water?

When something is more dense than water, it will sink. This is because the upward buoyant force exerted by the water is not enough to overpower the gravitational force pulling the object downward.

Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?

When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.

How is density related to floating or sinkingin water?

water's density is defined as 1g/mL. if something is more dense then it will sink due to the fact that it weighs more per volume. if something is less dense then it will float because it weighs less per volume than water. Speaking in terms of atoms, if it is more dense than the molecules are closer together and can push the water molecules out of the way (so it goes to the bottom), but less dense the water molecules push against the less dense molecules causing them to rise.
