∙ 10y agoSink. Items with a density of less than one will float on water.
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.
Error, maybe!
Density has its connection with buoyancy.The ability of an object to "float" when it is placed in a fluid is called buoyant force. If an object is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed, it will "float" on the fluid. If it is more dense than the fluid, it will "sink." For example: Metal ships can float because their total density is less than that of the water that they float on.
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)
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
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.
an object will float on a denser liquid
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
The object will dissolve in the container of water.
The object will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the object is less than its weight, causing it to sink.
An object's density must be less than that of the fluid it is placed in for the object to float. If the object's density is greater than that of the fluid, it will sink.
We both know it floats
fluid with higher density, as the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Therefore, the object placed in the fluid with higher density will experience a greater buoyant force.

The object will sink because the object is denser than water.
An object will sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid it is placed in. This is known as being denser than the fluid. The exact density required for an object to sink will vary depending on the fluid and the object's shape and size.
