What would happen to a liquid or solid that has a lower density than water is placed in container of water?

Lower density materials float in higher density fluids. This does not occur if two miscible fluids are miscible (dissolve in each other). In that case the one fluid mixed with the other (e.g. alcohol and water)

Does not change shape when placed in a different container?
solid
What will happen to an object placed in a tub of water if it has a density greater than 1.0 g?
It is likely to sink. However, it may float if it is shaped like a boat.
What changes shape when placed in a different container?
water and gas
Will items with a density of greater than 1 sink or float when placed in water?
Sink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
What does the math term math mass mean?
mass is the density of any given object. what i mean by this is that it is how closely together the molecules are placed, aka the density.
What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed onto a container if water?
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
Does liquid have shape?
No Liquid does not have a distinctive shape, but it takes the shape of the container it is placed in.
What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?
An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?
an object will float on a denser liquid
What will happen if the density of an object placed in a liquid if the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object?
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
What changes shape when placed in different container?
Any Liquid or Gas
What can handle more pressure a small closed container or a large closed container if the amount of liquid placed in it is the same?
small container
What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?
An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.
Is buoyancy and density the same?
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
How does the liquid density affects the buoyancy of objects placed in the liquid?
Yea
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
Would an object float at 3.684 density?
It isn't clear what units you are using, what liquid you are placing it in, and whether that is the density of the object or of the liquid. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
