How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?

Well usually, the bigger the volume, the better it floats. But mostly, it matters about how much mass an object contains.

If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
Do hydrometers float higher in liquids that are more dense or less dense?
An object floats when it displaces a volume of fluid that is equal to its total weight. The more dense (heavier per volume) the fluid is, the less the volume is that must be displaced to equal the weight of the object that floats in it.Therefore an object floats higher (is less submerged) in a denser fluid.
If an object floats the volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of what?
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
Does freezing affect the weight of an object?
No it does not, but it might affect the volume of the object (it might shrink or expand).
What two forces determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Buoyancy and pressure determine whether the object floats or sinks.
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.

Is it true that If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater?
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
Does volume determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Not at all. A small pebble and a giant boulder both sink, but a small feather and a giant battleship both float.
Why does some food float and some food not?
Whether an object floats or not depends on its density. Density is the amount of mass in a volume, or mass divided by volume. If and object's density is less than that of water, it will float in water, and if an objects density is higher than that of water, it will sink in water. raw material (fishballs will sink down);but it will floats when it is cook. why

If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater true or false?
It's true that the volume of displaced water of a floating object equalst the portion of that object that is underwater.
