Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.

Will an object float if the volume is bigger than its mass?

If these measurements are made in cubic cemtimeters (volume) and grams (mass) this is true. But, if mass is from the english system, (not really pounds, it is slugs, but who knows what a slug is?) and the volume is cubic feet, this is not true.


In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?

False. Momentum is a product of an object's mass and velocity, so even if the object is small, it can have a large momentum if it has a high velocity. It doesn't need to be stationary to have a large momentum.


Why is it easier too change the motion of an object with a large mass than an object with a small mass?

It is not! According to Newton's law the exact opposite is true.


The tendency for an object to sink or float has to do with the object's density true or false?

True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.


Does greater mass in an object have a higher resistance to a change in movement?

Yes, greater mass in an object results in a higher resistance to a change in movement, which is known as inertia. This means that more force is needed to accelerate or decelerate an object with greater mass compared to an object with less mass.


Can scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float. False True?

True. Scientists can use the measure of density to determine if an object will float or sink in a fluid. If the density of an object is less than that of the fluid, it will float; if the density is greater, it will sink.


Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?

The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.


What is the true definition of mass?

Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object.


If an object placed fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it replaced the object will float true or false?

True. According to Archimedes' principle, an object placed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. If this buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float.


Is it true that the more mass a object has the more gravity pulls on it?

No, the more mass of an object the more gravity it exerts.


Is it true that gravity greater on an object that has more mass?

Yes, gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force of gravity it experiences.


What is an object with a greater density than water will float in water is it true or false?

False
