No, a ball with a density of 5 g/cm3 will sink in water, as the density of water is around 1 g/cm3 which is less than 5 g/cm3. Objects with a higher density than the fluid they are placed in will sink.
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
The object would float in the salt water since its density is less than the density of the salt water. Objects with a lower density than the fluid they are placed in will float, while those with higher density will sink.
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
No, plasticine is denser than water, so a plasticine ball will sink in water rather than float.
The object would float in the salt water. This is because the object's density (1.12 g/cm3) is less than the density of the salt water (1.35 g/mL), making it less dense than the surrounding medium and causing it to float.

A substance with a density of 1.3gcm-3 would sink in water. Float (APEX)

The substance with a density of 0.9 g/cm3 would float on water, as its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm3). Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float on water, while those with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 will sink.
float
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 it's sinking in water.
A beach ball can float on water because it is less dense than the water, due to the air trapped inside the ball. The buoyant force exerted by the water on the beach ball is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the ball to float on the surface of the water.
Yes, half of a tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air-filled cavity inside the tennis ball helps it to float.
A tennis ball will float in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the ball helps to keep it buoyant on the surface of the water.
The object would float in the salt water since its density is less than the density of the salt water. Objects with a lower density than the fluid they are placed in will float, while those with higher density will sink.
