An object's ability to float in water is determined by its density relative to the density of water. If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If an object is more dense than water, it will sink. The shape and size of the object also play a role in determining its ability to float.
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
Its density.If a substance is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, then it will float.(The surface tension of water also contributes slightly to this.)
This would include the term "buoyancy", which is not limited to objects that float. An objects whose weight is less than the water displaced by it would float. But an object could become suspended below water by the upward force of bouyancy, which acts on all objects in liquid.
Yes, an object's shape can affect its ability to float. Objects with larger surface areas relative to their volume, like flat objects or objects with concave shapes, are more likely to float because they displace more water. Objects with irregular shapes or holes are less likely to float because they displace less water due to their shape.
Yes, the shape of an object affects its ability to float on water. Objects with a greater surface area relative to their weight are more likely to float, as they can displace more water. Objects with irregular shapes or holes may have difficulty floating due to their reduced buoyancy.

The object's ability to float depends on its density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in, such as water. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. If the object's density is greater than that of water, it will sink. This is because objects that are less dense than water displace enough water to generate an upward buoyant force that exceeds their weight, allowing them to float.
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
It is the displacement of the vessels weight and the freeboard remaining of a vessel that determines whether a vessel will float and or sink. A ship will float higher on salt water (salt water is denser) than if on fresh water (less dense).
when some thing is less dense than the liquid it floats
The higher the salinity of the water, the greater the buoyant force exerted on the object, thus making it easier for objects to float. This is because saltwater is denser than freshwater, providing greater support to objects trying to float.
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
