mass of a substance is constant at any place in the universe.the reason for floating is its density is less than density of medium in which it is floating

What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?
Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).
How do you determine if a substance is more dense or less dence?
Density is measured and expressed as the mass to volume ratio. To determine what the density of a substance you measure its mass and divide that number by its measured volume (or you can look up the density based on what composes it). Then, using the same units, do the same for another substance. The substance with the larger number is more dense, has more mass per volume, than the substance with the lower number, and the same in reverse with respect to less density.
Ice floating on water more or less dense?
more. Less
Can more than one substance have the same mass?
Mass is measured in kilograms, and you can have a kilogram of any given substance.
What is meant by the density of a substance?
It means how much a standard volume of a substance weighs - or more precisely, how much mass it has. If a liter of one substance has more mass than a liter of another substance, the first substance is said to have greater density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
What is the movement of a substance from an area where there is more of the substance to an area where there is less of the substance?
Diffusion.
What is the relationship between the mass of an object and it overall size?
No direct relationship. There are small cotton balls that have less mass than battleships,and there are large blocks of styrofoam that have less mass than small stones.All you can say for sure is that if you have two chunks of the same substance,then the larger one has more mass.
What is a substance whose matter is more tightly packed than other another substance have a greater density or mass?
Mass
How can matter be more or less buoyant?
it can be more or less buoyant be having more or less mass.i.e. lead will sink in water because the mass is higher and wood will float because it is lighter. the more mass the less buoyant, less mass means more buoyant.
How do you convert 1.7 grams to cm3?
It depends on the substance. The more dense the substance is, the less volume 1.7 grams of it will have. To convert mass to volume, divide mass by the density of the substance. Formula for density: d=m/v After multiplying both sides by v and dividing by d, we get: v=m/d
1 iu is equal to how many mg?
The international unit varies according to the substance. An IU is the amount of something that is needed to produce an effect which has been agreed upon as a standard. So, 1000 IU of Vitamin D has a different mass than 1000 IU of Vitamin C.
Would mass be more or less on the moon?
Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.
