What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
What most influences whether or not an object will float?
An object's density influences its buoyancy, thus determining whether or not an object will float
Does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
No, every object has a fixed density. if the density is less than water it will float. If not, it wont. Hope this answers your question!
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
Comparing the what of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
Density.
Does mass affect whether or not an object will float?
no and mass is air

How is the mass and volume of an object related to whether it will sink or float?
Ummm like how much weight it has
What most influences whether or not an object will float?
An object's density influences its buoyancy, thus determining whether or not an object will float
How could a magnet float?
Whether an object floats or not does not depend on whether it is magnetic. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed.
Does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
No, every object has a fixed density. if the density is less than water it will float. If not, it wont. Hope this answers your question!
Which of theses most influences whether or not an object will float?
the object's density
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
What determines whether an object sinks or float?
density!
How does the density of the object affect whether it sinks or floats?
if its in water and it has less grams per cm cubed than the water does then it will float and vicevesa
Comparing the of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
density
