you can either change the volume or the mass

Light object that sinks?
Some of light objects will float and some of light object will sink . For An Example : A coin - it is light , isn't it ? But , it will sink in the water . Because , the density of coin is denser than water . water will be under the oil when they are mixed together in a container . It is because of the density too . How do you know the density of an object or liquids ? First , you should know the mass and volume of the object . After that , MASS DIVIDE VOLUME . You 'll get the density of the object or liquids . The bigger density will be under the smaller density object / liquids when they were mixed together . Of course the air , they are also have their own density .
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
Why do some things float and some dont?
A floating object has a density less than what it is floating in. If an object has more density than the medium it is placed in, the medium will be unable to hold the object. The object will, therefore, sink.
Density of an object is less than density of water?
It is for some substances and not for other substances.
Why does changing the the shape of an object have no effect on the density of that object?
1 I'm not sure that this is true-- at least without some qualifications. If an object's shape is changed in such a way that it will enclose one or more pockets of air, some other substance, or even vacuum, the object's over-all density may change. If no pockets are formed, then the density probably is not changed 2 Density is the ratio of mass to volume.
How are mass volume and density different?
Mass: is the weight of an object. Volume: is the space inside an object. Density: is how much stuff there is in some ammount of space:3 your welcome
Why do some objects 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
Why do some objects float or sink in water?
It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.
What makes some things float?
Density of the object and buoyancy of the water/liquid.
Why do some objects float in fluids but others don't?
Any object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid,and it'll sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid.
Can you determine density of an object with only a triple beam balance?
No, you will also need some way to determine the volume of the object.
Does cutting an object in half change the density?
The density of something is the mass divided by the volume, so if you cut the item in half, it will not change the density at all. Instead, the two halves of the item will have the same density.
