This great word or maybe even formula is called density.
If the density of water is 1, and your drop a stone which weighs 9.3 it will sink. But if it was 1 it would've floated, but if it was a liquid or an oil it would've mixed not floated!!!

Hope this helps!
D= mass over volume
What else can I help you with?
Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in, and it will float if its density is less than the fluid. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so comparing the density of an object to the density of the fluid it is in helps predict its buoyancy.
How can knowing an object's density help you predict whether the object will float or sink in a fluid?
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
How does buoyancy help a submerging float?
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid that helps to support or lift an object placed in it. When a submerged object such as a float experiences buoyancy, it creates an upward force that counteracts the downward force of gravity, allowing the object to float or maintain its position at the surface of the fluid.
What term compares an objects mass to its volume?
Density is a physical property that compares an object's mass to its volume. It is expressed as mass per unit volume (g/cm^3 or kg/m^3), and it can help determine whether an object will sink or float in a fluid.
How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine wether an object made from that material will float in water?
If it is lower it will float
What two things help in determining if an object will float of sink?
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will slow in water?
I am assuming that you mean float (or sink) rather than "slow". Knowledge of density will not help - unless the object is compact. The density of iron is greater than that of water but ships made of iron will float.

If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq

How will the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will float in water?
The density of water is roughly 1 gram/cm3. If the density of the substance is less than that, then a solid lump of it can float. Otherwise it can't, but you can form the lump into shapes that can float, just as plate steel is formed into the shape of cruise ship or an aircraft carrier.
