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!
How does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
The shape of an object needs to be such that the overall density of the object is less than that of the medium in which it is placed
How does mass affect the shape of an object?
how does mass affect the shape of an object?
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.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.

What can float in the water?
Many things can float in water. An object will float based on 2 main factors. They are density and shape. If an object is too dense, it will sink. But why would shape matter? The shape of the object affects how the water is displaced. If the weight of the water displaced is more than the weight of the object that is touching the water, the object will float. So the shape affects how much water is displaced therefore determines if an object will float.
How will you determine if an object will sink or float?
Archimedes principle: the buoyant force on a submerged object will be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.Basically if the object is more dense than the fluid it is put into, it will sink, if it is less dense, it will float.The density of an object and its shape and its design are important in deciding whether it will sink or float.
What two factors determine how heavy an object can be to float?
Shape and density
How does an objects size and shape affect buoyancy?
Well, buoyancy is capacity to float in liquid. So the object needs to have air to make it float an example for an boat the Titanic for example was really heavy it was made out of steel so it had air in the bottom to make the ship float.
What does shape have to do with whether chemicals mix or not?
The shape of an object can be changed and the object will still remain true to its chemical composition.
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.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
How does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls - slide4?
The shape of an object affects the wind resistance that will press against the object, slowing it as it falls.
How does changing the shape of an object affect its mass?
It doesn't.
