it wont move in water
objects arrange themselves in order of density (lowest having greatest density and highest having least). If 2 objects have the same, they will be suspended in their last position

If an object and water both have the same density then the object is said to have neutral buoyancy. The object will easily move up and down in the water. Denser than water, the object sinks. Less dense than water the object floats or rises to the surface of the water.

Actually a very very simple question. I dont think most people pay attention in school.
The object will remain in water where ever it is placed if the water is still. Since the density is the same it will behave like water. If you pour water into water, does it float or sink? Neither. If you place the object halfway down a tub of water it will remain there till some water currents move it.

An object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. For an object that is immersed, the Buoyant Force = Weightfluid displaced. The buoyant force does not depend on the objects weight. If the density of the object is equal to the density of the fluid: (i) the BF equals the weight of the object. (Ii) the object will neither sink nor float. For example Fish have the ability to adjust their density to match the density of the liquid.

It depends on the shape of the object. Say you make the object look like a dish. It will float.
You make the object look like a brick. Its top will be at the surface of water.
So, its not just the density but the shape and the way you put it in water that matters.

If it's less dense than water it will float. If it's more dense than water it will sink. If it's the same density as water it won't do either. It will just kind of sit where it is placed. If you put it in water, it will stay where you put it. If you drop it in water it will sink until the friction of the water stops it and then just kind of sit there, not going up or down.

if the density of water and the object is the same then it will not "sink" in the water due to its density. It may sink due to velocity. Depending upon its shape, it may have some bouyancy keeping it floating upon the surface.

If the density of water and the object which is the same then the object will sink naturally. Why this rubbish question is put in and waste the time

If it is exactly the same as a water molecule, except bigger in size nad held as one, then it will act like a big water molecule.
In other words, it will mingle amongst the other molecules, and move along with any turbulence or other behaviour the rest is put under.
It will neither float nor sink, but mix in!

waters density is one g/cm3 above a million g/cm3 sinks under a million g/cm3 floats and that i think of no remember if it is so on the component of one its called suspended the place its interior the middle the easy answer is that the density of water is one. thats the particular gravity of water. the truthfully density of water is one gram in line with milliliter. you could discover that the particular warmth of a substance is the comparable as its density without the instruments.
