What causes things to sink?
If their density, or weight per unit volume, is greater than that of the fluid density, they will sink
Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
no!!
Why does a domino sink in salt water?
A Domino sinks because of the mass packed in the Domino causes it to sink.
Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink Explain?
No. The relationship between mass and displacement does. Think about ships and boats. If had a big block of steel with the same mass a cargo ship and put it in the water, then it would sink. The ship is shaped so that it displaces enough water to keep itself afloat. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, and then weld that material the side of it, then you haven't changed the mass of it, but it will sink.
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.
Will a camera sink in quicksand?
Anything with weight and mass will sink in quicksand.
What makes us float?
We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.

Why does a cherry sink in water?
Because of its weight and mass

How much mass would it take to sink a 1.5 cubic meter drum?
Assuming that the drum itself has no mass and weight, calculate the mass of the liquid in which you want to place the drum. Use the formula: mass = density x volume The amount of mass to sink the drum will have to be that amount, or more.
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
What will not sink in quick sand?
Improvement: quick sand doesn't sink in quicksand and things with low density X mass

Why does object sink in water?
because it is denser (more mass/volume.)
