What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
Do heavy objects float?
Heavy objects generally sink when placed in water because the density of the object is greater than that of water, causing it to displace less water and sink. For an object to float, it must displace an amount of water equal to its own weight.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.
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.
Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.
What two factors determine how heavy an object can be to float?
Shape and density
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.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.

When an object float what does the object have?
when a object float it has density

Why is an object too heavy on the earth can be lifted easily on the moon give reasons?
Because in space its makes things float
how can wood float on oil but not a bottle?
Wood is less dense than oil, so it floats on the oil. The bottle, on the other hand, is made of denser material, so it sinks in the oil. Buoyancy and density differences between the materials determine whether they float or sink in a liquid.
Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
It is inaccurate because whether an object sinks or floats in water depends on its density. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink, while those with a density less than water will float. Size and weight alone do not determine whether an object will sink or float.
