Whether a material in any state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) will float in a liquid (or a gas) depends on the relative densities of the materials. (Density is defined as mass divided by volume.) If the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid it is placed in, the object will float. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, the object will sink. If the densities are the same, the object will remain stationary assuming there are no other forces acting on it. For a few examples, a plank of wood is (generally) less dense than water, so it would float. A balloon filled with Helium is less dense than air, so it rises. A ball of lead is more dense than water, so it sinks. You can even float a liquid on top of another liquid if their densities are different.
When an object has less density than water, it will rise when submerged and float on the water's surface. This is a phenomenon known as buoyancy.
The specific gravity of the object must be below that of water, which is 1.
The tendency of an object to float is described by its buoyancy.

Inertia is the tendency of n object to stay in motion.
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.

"buoyancy"
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Im not sure i spelled it right but i think its boyance
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
DensityThe lower the density in the liquid or air the more it will float
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
when a object float it has density
Inertia is the tendency of n object to stay in motion.
tendency to float
The spelling is buoyancy (tendency to float).
