Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
Can density determine if an object is hollow?
If we know the material that makes up the object, we will also know the density of the material. By measuring the volume and mass of the object, it is possible to find out if it is solid or hollow. This will only work if we know the material and we know the density of the material.
Why is important to know the density of an object?
so you know how much an object is denser compared to another object.
Light object that sinks?
Some of light objects will float and some of light object will sink . For An Example : A coin - it is light , isn't it ? But , it will sink in the water . Because , the density of coin is denser than water . water will be under the oil when they are mixed together in a container . It is because of the density too . How do you know the density of an object or liquids ? First , you should know the mass and volume of the object . After that , MASS DIVIDE VOLUME . You 'll get the density of the object or liquids . The bigger density will be under the smaller density object / liquids when they were mixed together . Of course the air , they are also have their own density .
How do you work out the mass of an object with the density and the volume?
Density = (Mass) divided by (Volume) If you know the density and volume, then Mass = (Density) times (Volume)

What would be the density of an object that has a mass of 17 g?
You don't know the density if you only know the mass. You can figure it out if you also know the object's volume.

What information do you have to have before you can find the Density of an object?
You have to know the object's mass and its volume. Then its density is [ (mass) divided by (volume) ].
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
If an something was 2000000 kilograms what would be its density?
To know the density you need to know the volume of that object. density = mass divided by volume.
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
Which of theses most influences whether or not an object will float?
the object's density
How do you calculate the mass of an object if you know the volume and density?
density = mass/volume mass = density x volume
How can you use math to predict if an object will float or sink?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the liquid in which it is placed, it will sink. If the density is less, it will float. You can use math to calculate the density, if you know an object's mass and volume. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
What is the density of an object of 6.0 grams?
Density=Mass/Volume You need also to know the volume !
