An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.

Why might an object float in water?

Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.


How much water should you use to make an object float?

The amount of water needed to make an object float depends on the object's density and volume. The volume of water displaced by the object should be equal to or greater than the volume of the object for it to float. Adding more water will increase the buoyant force.


Will a density of 2.7 float?

Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.


When an object float what does the object have?

when a object float it has density


What are the necessary conditions for the body to float in liquid?

For an object to float in a liquid, the buoyant force acting on the object must be equal to or greater than the weight of the object. This depends on the density of the object, the density of the liquid, and the volume of the object submerged in the liquid. The object will float if its density is less than the density of the liquid.


Would an object with a density of 85gmL float sink or be suspended?

Is it true that object with large mass float?

Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.

If an object floats in oil then does it float in water?

Not necessarily. An object's ability to float in a liquid depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the liquid. Even though an object may float in oil, it may not float in water if the object is more dense than water.


When an object floats what does the object have?

when a object float it has density


What is flotability?

the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.


The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?

The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by its density compared to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float. Additionally, the shape and volume of the object can also affect its ability to float.
