No. An object will sink if its DENSITY is greater than that of the liquid (or gas) in which you place it.

Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?
NO
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
How can knowing an object's density help you predict whether the object will float or sink in a fluid?
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.

NO

No.

An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
How do you predict whether an object will sink of float?
the area of contact of the object with water,if it seems to more .water displaced by it
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float

How can you predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
Measure the mass and volume of both to determine each's density (mass/volume). If the object is less dense; it will float, if it is mroe dense; it will sink.
How can density be used to predict whether on object will float you sink in water?
Because that's how life is. If the density is greater than the density of water it will sink. If less, it will float.
How can you predict whether an object will sink or float in a liquid?
To predict whether an object will sink or float in a liquid, you must first examine the densities of both the object and the liquid. If the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, the density of water is approximately 1g/ cm3. The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/ cm3. That is why when water freezes, the ice floats on the top rather than sinking to the bottom.
