Yes, the weight of the object doesn't matter as much as the density. For example, a pebble will sink in water because it is very dense, yet a log won't because it's not as dense as water.

Why the objects sink?
Objects sink when the density of the object is more than that of the water.
When will an object an object sink?
an objects sinks when its density is more than that of water...... that means when the density of the material is more than 1g/cm3
What causes objects to sink?
An object will sink if gravity effects it more then it's boyancy does.
Why do objects sink?
objects sink because they are to heavy.
Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of Styrofoam of a similar size and shape floats?
Coins are denser than water. Styrofoam is less dense than water.
What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?
Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.
Are objects that sink more dense than water?
Yes.
Objects sink in water because they are heavy true of false?
False. Objects sink in water because they are more dense than water.
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water; while objects that sink in water are more dense than water.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
How can you predict whether objects will float or sink?
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.

Why do objects sink or float in water?
Things will sink if they are denser than water.
Why do certain objects sink?
If the object is more dense it will sink
How can you predict if something will sink or float?
An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
