Whether an object will sink or float?

To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.


Do people have density?

Yes but to be exact you would need a specific person. Most people have a density of slightly less than 1 because they float in water. If you do not float then your density is slightly greater than 1.


What will the density of any object be if they wanted that object to float in water?

The density of water is about 1000kg/m3 or 1g/cm3 (it varies slightly with temperature), so for something to float it would need to be less than that i.e when oil float on top of water it is because oil has a density of around 0.92g/cm3.


How do you float with materials?

To float materials, you need to ensure that the material has a density lower than the fluid it is placed in, like water. This difference in density creates a buoyant force that keeps the material afloat. When the weight of the material is less than the buoyant force acting on it, it will float.


Would a piece of wood that's mass is 89 grams float?

If it is made of wood, it is very likely that it will float. The mass alone (89g) is not enough information to determine if something will float. You will also need to know the volume. Divide the mass (in grammes) by the volume in (cubic centimetres) to give you a value of grammes/cc Water has a density of 1g/cc. If the wood has a value less than this then it will float in water.


Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?

No, you need to consider both the mass and volume of an object in order to predict if it will sink or float. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density, which is determined by dividing the mass by the volume. Objects with density greater than the density of water will sink, while objects with density less than the density of water will float.


How can you tell an object will float or sink?

take the density. if the density id larger than one it will sink. if the density is not larger than one it will float.If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink. If it is less dense than the liquid, it will float.


Would an object float if the density is 350 g and a volume is 95 cm squared?

To determine if an object will float, compare its density to the density of the fluid it will be placed in (usually water). An object with a density greater than that of water (1 g/cm^3) will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. In this case, with a density of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm^3, you would need to know the density of the fluid (e.g., water) to determine if it would float or sink.


What planet is s o light that it could float on water?

Saturn is the planet that is so light that it could float on water. Its average density is less than water, which gives it the unique characteristic of being able to float in a large enough body of water.


If an aquamarines density is 2.63 would it float on water?

No, an aquamarine with a density of 2.63 g/cm^3 would sink in water, as the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink, while objects with a density less than that of water will float.


A 7.40 cm3 sample of mercury has a mass of 102 g will it float in water?

No, the sample of mercury will sink in water because the density of mercury (13.6 g/cm3) is higher than the density of water (1 g/cm3), indicating that mercury is denser than water and will not float.


Can you make a rock float?

A rock could float if its density is less than that of water, as is the rock pumice, or if it is shaped in a manner that would displace an amount of water to sufficiently cause it to float when carefully placed in water.
