What else can I help you with?
If an object float in water is it more dense than an object that sinks?
other way around, buddy =)
What determines whether an object sinks or float?
density!
How can an object which sinks be made to float?
by fluffy stuff
Does a denser object sink or float?
An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Does mass determine an object will float or sink?
No. A toothpick and a tiny stone both have small mass, but one floats and the other sinks. A passenger ferry and a large boulder both have large mass, but one floats and the other sinks. It's not the mass that determines whether the object will float. It's the ratio of its mass to its volume ... the number known as the object's "density".
What objects sink or floats?
An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
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.
If an object sinks in water its density is less than that of water?
Yes, that's correct. If an object has a density lower than that of water, it will float. If it sinks, then its density is greater than that of water.
Does the weight of an object affect whether it sinks or float?
Yes, the weight of an object affects whether it sinks or floats in a fluid. An object will sink if its weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to displace an amount of fluid equal to its weight. Conversely, if the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, it will float.
