What else can I help you with?
Can you use density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Yes, you can use density to predict whether an object will float or sink in water. If the density of an object is less than the density of water (1 g/cm³), it will float. If the density of an object is greater than the density of water, it will sink.
What are the principle of floating?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid it is placed in. Floating is the result of the fact that there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the floating object, than at the top.
How is density of a floating object related to the density of the fluid it is floating in?
The "AVERAGE" Density of the entire floating object must be LESS than the density of the Fluid. The Average Density includes hollow spaces, etc. That is why a ship made of STEEL can float in water. It has a lot of EMPTY (air filled) space contained in its interior. Therefore, when the Steel Hull is immersed in the water it "DISPLACES" more water weight than the entire ship itself weighs.
How can you predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
You can predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid by comparing the object's density to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float.
What do you notice about the density of floating objects?
Usually the density of floating object will be less than that of the liquid in which it is floating. But exception is that ship made up of iron will float in less dense water. Becasue a large amount of water will be displaced due to the specific construction of the ship. The weight of the displaced water will be more than the floating ship.
How the buoyant force is related to floating sinking describe how knowing the density of an object helps predict whether the object will sink or float?

Why do some things float and some dont?
A floating object has a density less than what it is floating in. If an object has more density than the medium it is placed in, the medium will be unable to hold the object. The object will, therefore, sink.

Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
Does the water density affect floating?
Yes, water density will affect an object's ability to float.
What are the factors affecting floating?
Factors affecting floating include the density of the object, the density of the fluid it is placed in, and the volume of the object displacing the fluid. Objects with a density less than that of the fluid will float, while those with a density greater than the fluid will sink.
