How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?
Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy for objects and substances?
The higher the density the lower the buoyancy.
Which property of water allows things to float?
There is NO property of water that allows things to float. Floating in not a property of a substance. It is the difference in density of two objects that allows one to be buoyant when surrounded by the other. This a balloon can float on air, A steel ship can float on water and oil can float on water.

What causes sinking?
Density. Objects that are more dense than other less dense objects will sink below them. This is how floating works, as well.
What are floating objects?
Floating Objects are objects that are less densethan water.
What are small planet-like objects floating between Mars and Jupiter?
Those objects are called asteroids.
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy for objects and substances?
The higher the density the lower the buoyancy.
Why is a objects density expressed a relationship between two units?
It is not two units are not the same as 1 density the objects density only counts on how much the mass of the object is then you will find out the density (units are counted in the density)

How do you find the density of floating objects?
Density: is when something has alot of weight, and obviously is very heavy Floating: is when something is light and is not as dense

Why is an objects density expressed as a relationship between 2 units?
because the formula for density is mass times volume. Which equals density.
