if it is lighter than the amount of liquid it displaces
If the density of the object is lower than the density of the liquid, then it will float. If the object is denser than the liquid, then it will sink
The answer is just density lol
An object will float if its density is less than its environment. Or, another way, an object will float if it weighs less than the volume of the gas (or fluid) that it displaces.
Whether an object sinks or floats is determined by its density in relation to the density of the fluid it's in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it's more dense, it will sink. The volume of an object alone doesn't affect whether it sinks or floats; it's the relationship between its volume and its overall density that determines its buoyancy.
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
Buoyancy is the property of matter that describes how well an object floats. It is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the fluid it is placed in. Objects with a lower density than the fluid will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
The density of an object determines if it sinks or floats. If an object is more dense than the medium it is in, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. Therefore, the most dense things typically sink.
If an object floats in a fluid, it means that the weight of the object is equal to the buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the object. This equilibrium allows the object to remain suspended in the fluid without sinking or rising.
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.

when a object float it has density
If an object floats it is less dense than the substance it's floating in.
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
No. A toothpick and a tiny stone both have small mass, but one floats and the other sinks. A passenger ferry and a large boulder both have large mass, but one floats and the other sinks. It's not the mass that determines whether the object will float. It's the ratio of its mass to its volume ... the number known as the object's "density".

It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
