What else can I help you with?
Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?
The color or surface texture of an object will never affect whether it sinks or floats. The buoyancy of an object is dependent on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in.
What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?
If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.
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 can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Whether an object sinks or floats is determined by its density in relation to the density of the fluid it's in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it's more dense, it will sink. The volume of an object alone doesn't affect whether it sinks or floats; it's the relationship between its volume and its overall density that determines its buoyancy.
What two forces determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Buoyancy and pressure determine whether the object floats or sinks.
What heavier object sinks but the lighter object floats but the heavier object can be a thousand times larger than the lighter object?
Not a clue. Please Tell Me The Answer ?? :)
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
What is the definition of bouyancy?
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.
How would knowing the density of different substances be useful?
it can determine if an object sinks or floats in the substance
What does pressure do for floating and sinking?
Pressure plays a role in determining whether an object floats or sinks by affecting the buoyant force acting on the object. If the pressure on an object is greater than the buoyant force, the object will sink. Conversely, if the pressure is less than the buoyant force, the object will float.
