What is true about the mass and volume of all floating objects?

The volume of liquid displaced has the same mass as the floating object.


What do sinking objects have in common?

They all have densities greater than the density of the fluid in which they are sinking. The mass of the displaced liquid is less than the mass of the sinking body.


What is ture about mass and volume for all floating objects?

The mass is always less than the volume


How do you find the volume of an egg?

Fill a cup to the brim with water. Put egg in water (it should sink), capturing all of the overflow of water. Measure volume of water. This volume will match the egg's volume. Sinking objects displace volume, floating objects displace mass.


What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?

Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).


What objects does gravity affect?

Anything with mass


Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?

yes


How do mass of the objects affect the force of gravity?

The greater the mass, the stronger the gravity, but the distance does not affect the amount of gravity.


How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?

Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.


Does gravity affect small objects?

Yes, gravity affects all objects that have mass.


What two things affect falling objects?

gravity and mass


Mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects true or false?

This is false. The answer is that mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects. Air resistance has no effect on this.
