Why do objects that float take out more water than objects that sink?
Because objects that sink have greater density, which takes up less space, which, assuming you are using the water displacement method, would take out less water.
What is the method used to find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
The method you would use is to take a graduated cylinder, face the markings towards you, fill the cylinder with a liquid that won't react with said object (usually water is fine) to an appropriate measure (around half way depending on the size of the object), record the volume before placing the object in the fluid, place the object in the fluid and record the volume after, subtract the initial from the total (liquid +object's displacement) and you will have the objects volume. However you must be aware that certain objects will float or at least have some amount of buoyancy making determining it's volume harder to ascertain (if at all possible) with this method.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float
What can you do to heavy objects to make them float?
An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low. For this purpose, its mass should be less and volume should be greater(d=m/v), so to make heavy objects to float, their volume should be as less as possible.

How do you find density of object that floats?
Well you Find the density by doing Mass/Volume. If The objects density is less than 1 it will float
Why do objects that float take out more water than objects that sink?
Because objects that sink have greater density, which takes up less space, which, assuming you are using the water displacement method, would take out less water.
When would the displacement of water not be a good method for finding the volume?
It would not be good for finding the volume of an object that is less dense than water. Such an object would float and therefore would not displace its full volume worth of water.
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
What helps pumice float?
The pumice is not very dense, if the mass of the volume of water displacement is greater than the mass of the rock it will float

How do you determine the volume of solids that float on the water?
You can either:try the displacement method with a fluid which is less dense than water, ormeasure the volume of a very dense object (which will sink), attach this object to the given solid and find their combined volume. The difference between the two volumes is the required answer.
When an object float does the volume of the displaced water equal to the volume of the portion of the objects that's underwater?
Yes.
How do different sized and weight objects settle in water?
Objects which are less dense than water will float. Objects denser than water will float or sink depending on the volume of water that they displace and that will depend on their shape.
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
it will float
Why do some objects sink and some objects float?
It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.
What can you do to heavy objects to make them float?
An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low.

How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sink in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
