A floating object always displaces an amount of water of the same weight of the object. An object that sinks displaces the amount of fluid equal to the objects volume. Water levels rise. So to calculate either, you would need to know the weight or the volume. One other comment, the amounts are different between objects in fresh water and objects in salt water

What would not affect the level at which a canoe floats in a pond?
it sinks
If you put marbles in the water what happens?
It either floats or sinks...put the marbles in water to test them!
What does the word buoyance mean?
This word means like when something has a shape and sinks or floats.
What does the scientific word buoyancy mean?
This word means like when something has a shape and sinks or floats.
What happens to objects with same density as air around it?
IT keeps moving until takes place over mentionlessly, neither it floats or sinks. unless the waves in the water or something move it
Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
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.
What sinks in water sinks to the bottom then floats again?
Not Yassine JR
What does neutrally buoyant mean?
Something that neither floats nor sinks, stay in the middle of the tank or water subject it's in. Exp: bamboo with a balloon neither floats nor sinks in the tank. It stays in the middle on the 4 gallon tank.
Does size affect how well a material floats or sinks?
No!!!! The density of the material determines whether something will float or sink.
What happens when something is more dense then water?
it sinks
What happens when a cork floats and a nail sinks?
What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.
