Does the shape of a sustance determine if it will sink or float?
no the shape of a substance does not determine if it will sink or float. The density of the substance determines if it will sink or float. If the object weighs more than 1.0 g it will sink. If it weighs less than 1.0 g it will float.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
It depends on how much water there is . You will have to know how much the object you are going to put in weighs.
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
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.
What causes an object to sink or float in a liquid?
It depends on the density and if it has a hole or something.

What is it when something does not sink and does not float?
It is suspended.
Do ginger people float or sink in water?
no they dont float like normal people
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
What method is used to determine float and sink of coal?
they put it in water???
When would it be appropriate to test density?
Density can be used to determine buoyancy. To find out of something will float or sink, density is a good way to make a prediction.
Does copper wire sink or float?
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
How does an objects density help you determine if the object will sink or float?
If an objects density is greater than the waters density it will sink but if it's density is less than the waters density it will float
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
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.
