How is the density of an object determined?
You find the density of an object by dividing its mass by its volume.
Is density a property of an object or a property of the substance the object or a property of the substance the object is made of?
Density (or more properly Relative Density) is an elemental property. An object made from one or more elements will have a density related to the density of the elements.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?
Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.
What is density determined by?
Density is determined by two measurements: the mass and volume of an object. The quotient of the mass and volume (mass divided by volume) is density. It can be represented as grams per milliliter (g/mL).

The density of an object is a what?
The density of an object is its mass per unit of volume and is determined by dividing its mass by its volume.
What detirmines the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.

How do things sink and float?
it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it's in. if the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, then the object will sink. if the density of the object is lesser than the density of the liquid, the object will float.

How can the desity of an object be determined?
Not sure about desity. If you meant density, it is mass/volume.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)

How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?
If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.
