An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low. For this purpose, its mass should be less and volume should be greater(d=m/v), so to make heavy objects to float, their volume should be as less as possible.

Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
because if the heavy objects have a round bottom they will float
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float
Why do heavy objects sink in quicksand?
objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster
Why is it inaccurate to say that heavy objects sink and light objects float?
Because it is all about the physical concept of Density . You should say that an object will float if it's Density is lower than the Density of the fluid you choose to put it into . Example. Aluminum will float in Mercury liquid, because it is less dense than Mercury, yet you might refer to Aluminum as a heavy object , depending upon what other substance you are comparing it to.
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
because if the heavy objects have a round bottom they will float
How does an egg float on water?
well you will need something that is sticky and heavy also an item is to wrap around an egg that might make it float.i say it migth float because the light objects float and the heavy one sink.so yes it will
How is salt important in making heavy objects float?
dissolved salt increases the density of solution than the density of heavy metal, which help the heavy substance to float
How does an objects size and shape affect buoyancy?
Well, buoyancy is capacity to float in liquid. So the object needs to have air to make it float an example for an boat the Titanic for example was really heavy it was made out of steel so it had air in the bottom to make the ship float.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.
Can you make metal float?
You can't make a bar of metal float on water, but boats with metal hulls float. Also, metal bars and other metal objects float on mercury.
Why does salt water make objects float?
Because it is more dense
Can you make a go cart float?
Only if you make it from materials that float, but then it wouldn't be a go cart, but a float cart. It wouldn't be heavy enough to stay on the road as a go cart.
Why do heavy objects sink in quicksand?
objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster
Can you make objects that are sinkers float?
It depends on the buoyancy of an object in relation to the liquid it is in.
