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 factors determine wheter or not an object will float?
Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.
Does size can affect floating and sinking?
To determine if an object will float in a substance, you look only at its density
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.
WHY do heavier odjects sink on water?
An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.

What property of matter is affected by the sinking and floating of an object?
its density
What property of matter is affected by sinking and floating of an object?

Does the amount of water affect the floatation fo an object?
No, As long as you can see if the object is floating or sinking, then the amount of water does not matter

How the buoyant force is related to floating sinking describe how knowing the density of an object helps predict whether the object will sink or float?

How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?

What is a floating wreckage?
Anything that is found on the water that was a part of a bigger object.
How is floating and sinking a force?
They aren't really. Floating is when an object is held up against the pull of gravity due to the density of the liquid in which the object is resting (though technically, while sitting in a chair you are "floating" but we generally don't use the word that way). Sinking is just an object being pulled down by gravity despite the resistance of the liquid. Sinking is functionally the same as falling, however it generally happens at a slower rate due to the higher resistance (friction) provided by liquid over gasses.
What is Floating object on Microsoft Word 2007?
A floating object is an object that is floating, which is a floating object. Which = floating object.
