Question

What factors determined whether an object will float or sink? (3-5 sentences)

Answer 1

The two main factors that will determine whether the object floats or sinks is the density of the object and density of the liquid. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, it sinks, otherwise, it floats. However, this is true if the object is uniform, or has equal density everywhere within the space the object takes.
