What determines if an object will sink or float in a liquid?
by puting them in water
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
The blank force determines wether or not an object will float?
The correct answer is buoyant not put it in water
What allows objects float up in the water?
Density water having a density of 1.00 anything .99 or below will float and anything above will sink same scenario for oxygen and gasses for example helium has a lighter density than oxygen and that's why helium filled balloons float
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
What determines whether it will float in water?
Whether your foot is on it or not.
Do different sizes of fruit determine whether they will float in water?
no, what determines whether they will float or not is their density

Which planetis so light that it could float in water?
A planet's weight does not determine whether it can float in water. It's density is what determines that. Your question should be "Which planet's density is so small that it could float in water?"
The blank force determines wether or not an object will float?
The correct answer is buoyant not put it in water
What determines an object will sink or float?
The Density of the object as long as its .99 grams then it will float because the object has to have less density than water in order to rise above the water.
Density - ability for a boat to float?
It is the displacement of the vessels weight and the freeboard remaining of a vessel that determines whether a vessel will float and or sink. A ship will float higher on salt water (salt water is denser) than if on fresh water (less dense).
An object less dense than water will in water?
The "average" density of the object must be less than that of the water displaced.
What determines if a liquid will float on water?
1) it has to be immiscible with water 2) it has to be less dense than water. 3) it has to be a liquid at the same temperature range over which water is a liquid..
What controls buoyancy?
It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
What is buoyancy controlled?
It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
