There's no such condition as "volume greater than its mass", because
those two quantities are fundamentally different physical characteristics,
described in different physical unts. It would be a lot like saying that
"its speed is greater than its age" or "its weight is less than its color".
If you're careful about the units, and (the object's mass) divided by (its volume)
is less than ' 1 ', then it floats.

Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
What substances float on oil?
All materials with a density greater than the density of this oil.
If something floats in water does the water have more or less density?
The general rule is that an object will float, if it has less density that the liquid (or gas) in which it is placed. If the density of a liquid is greater, a larger amount of objects will float. Also, the same object will float higher, if it is placed in a denser liquid.
An objects density must be greater than what for the object to float?
An object's density must be less than the density of water,in order for the object to float.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
Why does a coin sink and a boat float?
An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.An object will sink if it has greater density than water (or whatever liquid it is place in); it will float if it has less density than the liquid.
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
What object placed in a liquid of greater density will do this?
an object will float on a denser liquid
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.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
If an object has a density of less that 1 it will?
It will float in water, and in any other fluid whose density is greater than the object's density.
How can you make a substance with greater density greater than water float?
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
How does the density of an object tell you if it will sink or float?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the fluid you put it in, then it sinks. If less, then it floats in that fluid.
