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.
The tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense, it will sink.
True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid. It depends on the volume and density of the object and the fluid it is in. Objects will sink if their density is greater than the fluid and will float if their density is less than the fluid.
This tendency is called buoyancy. It occurs when the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is greater than the weight of the object itself, causing it to float or rise.
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.

The tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense, it will sink.
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
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.
Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid. It depends on the volume and density of the object and the fluid it is in. Objects will sink if their density is greater than the fluid and will float if their density is less than the fluid.
DensityThe lower the density in the liquid or air the more it will float
This tendency is called buoyancy. It occurs when the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is greater than the weight of the object itself, causing it to float or rise.
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
