Can you use the mass and volume to predict whether an object will sink or float in water?

Yes you can.
If the object is one cubic meter in volume and it has a mass of less than one metric ton
it should float in fresh water.

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.
If you the mass and volume of an object how can you predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
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.
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.

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
What relates an object's mass and volume and determines whether an object will sink or float?
Density
How the buoyant force is related to floating sinking describe how knowing the density of an object helps predict whether the object will sink or float?

Can you use mass alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
No. An object will sink if its DENSITY is greater than that of the liquid (or gas) in which you place 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 use math to predict if an object will float or sink?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the liquid in which it is placed, it will sink. If the density is less, it will float. You can use math to calculate the density, if you know an object's mass and volume. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
