Yes it is because mass and density are physical properties and density is how you can tell if it is going to sink or float. to find out density, you divide the mass by the volume of an object.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
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.
True.
No.
Easiest way, which works under normal conditions, is to compare the object's density with that of water, which is conveniently 1.00. You basically take the mass of the object and divide by its volume. If it's greater than 1, it will sink (in water). If it's less, it should float (in water).
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
they float belly upl... they float belly upl... float and, you don't really need to know because it will be easy to tell that it is dead.
if it ways less then 1 it will float

Calculate the object's density. If the density is less than that of fresh water it will float, if it is more it will sink in fresh water. Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. The density of fresh water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, or 1 kg per litre.
It's difficult to tell what you are asking. If the question is concerned with the bouyancy of the object, it will sink if it first displaces its volume of water, or will float if it first displaces its weight in water. Since density is mass per unit volume, objects with an average density greater than water will sink.
The cube has a larger volume.
Depends on the liquid, different liquids have different densities thus different things will float or sink in them. If it's water you're try throwing the object in a swimming pool.
