Buoyancy is the force that causes floating. An object will either float or sink depending on its density in the water. If it’s denser than water‚ it mostly sinks; the less dense object usually will float. It doesn’t matter the size of the object is. Plastic that is big as a football field will float because it is less dense that the water. A
