If the weight is equal to or less than the upthrust, it floats. Things that float are buoyant. If the weight is greater than the upthrust, it sinks.
If something has a density that is less than the density of the water, the object will float. And if something has a density that is greater than the density of the water, the object will...

Density is the mass per unit of volume of a substance. The more mass there is in a volume, the higher the density. The density of water is about 1 gram per milliliter (g/ml) or 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). So, things that are less dense than water float on it, while substances that are more dense than water sink in it. For numerical values,...
Human feces (poop) either sink or float, depending on a few different factors. Mostly, poop is denser than water and sinks. However, it floats if a person’s diet is high in fiber or the stool contains a lot of gas or fat. While not necessarily indicative of a medical condition, floating poop can be indicative of an infection, pancreatitis, or irrit...
Even a dense object floats its shape gives it buoyancy. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid (liquid or gas) that opposes the weight of the object. This force is due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object, which creates a net upward force. According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant...
There are several common misconceptions about how floating works. The following statements are false: 1. Light objects float and heavy objects sink, regardless of their size or shape. 2. A floating object is completely above the surface of the liquid. 3. Objects only float because they contain trapped air. 4. Objects float better in deep water than...

Place the objects on the water and find out. Were you right? It seems logical that bigger objects should sink while smaller objects float, but this isn’t always true.

Jun 30, 2011 · Why do some things float and some things sink? Whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density. Density is how tightly packed the material inside an object is. Just because something is heavy does not mean it will sink. For example, ships are very heavy but not very dense, so they float.
Floating and sinking. If the upthrust is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, the object can never...
In this lesson, we will be investigating different materials and their properties. We will be exploring which materials float and which materials sink, then we will be making comparisons while looking at their properties. Do all hard materials sink? Do all soft materials float?
