∙ 15y agoIt acully depends on the density of the items whether they will sink or not. The formula for density is Density= Mass divided by Volume. The Density of water is 1gram per cubic centimeter or 1gram per milliliter. So, anything more dense than that will sink in water.

Why objects float or sink when placed on surface of water?
Because of the comparative density. If the objects density is greater than water it will sink, if less then it will float.
Why do objects sink?
objects sink because they are to heavy.
Why the objects sink?
Objects sink when the density of the object is more than that of the water.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float

Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Why do heavy objects sink in water?
Objects sink in water because they are denser than water, not necessarily because they are heavier.

irregular objects will sink due to uneven sides on the will not sink
What can sink in water?
