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.

What determines if an abject will float or sinkin water?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will 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 if an object will sink or float in a liquid?
by puting them in water
Which force determines whether or not an object will float?
This is archemedies principle. This is a balance between the force on the water displaced by gravity compared to the force on the floating object due to gravity. That is if the average density of the object that whishes to float is less then water then it will float. If it is greater then it will sink.For a boat the average density is the average of the density of the hull and the air inside the hull.
The blank force determines wether or not an object will float?
The correct answer is buoyant not put it in water

What determines whether it will float in water?
Whether your foot is on it or not.
An object less dense than water will in water?
The "average" density of the object must be less than that of the water displaced.
Do different sizes of fruit determine whether they will float in water?
no, what determines whether they will float or not is their density

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.

How can you figure out whether an object will sink or float in water?
Drop it in water and see what it does.
What can float in the water?
Many things can float in water. An object will float based on 2 main factors. They are density and shape. If an object is too dense, it will sink. But why would shape matter? The shape of the object affects how the water is displaced. If the weight of the water displaced is more than the weight of the object that is touching the water, the object will float. So the shape affects how much water is displaced therefore determines if an object will float.
How do you predict whether an object will sink of float?
the area of contact of the object with water,if it seems to more .water displaced by it
