Will an object with holes bob up and down in the water or will it sink if it floated before you put holes in it?

It depends on the boyancy of the material and the location of the holes. A ship holed below the waterline will sink. A body board with holes in will float.

A scientist immerses an irregularly shaped object into a beaker of water and notes how far the water rises.What property of the object is the scientist measuring?
The amount the water rises is dependent of the volume of water displaced by the object - thus it can be used to measure the volume of the immersed object. If the object did not immerse completely - if it floated - the displaced fluid could instead be used to calculate the relative density of the object - when combined with the total volume.
Why should an object sink in salty water and float in fresh water?
The only possible reason for that would be that after the object floated for a while,the salt ate a hole in it, the water poured into it, and it stopped floating.If the object doesn't corrode, dissolve, or get water-logged, then it might float insalty water and sink in fresh water, because salty water is always more densethan either fresh or distilled water.
Explain why the metgod of displacement is used to find volume?
The basic way is you take the volume of the water before you put the object in the water, then you measure the volume of the water and object.
How can you change the density of an object and affect its buoyancy?
-- Change its mass and weight. Fill any holes inside the object, or carve out new holes inside it. -- Change its volume. Form it into a new shape, like a cup, that displaces much more water than the compact lump does.
This calculation can help determine if an object will float or sink?
This great word or maybe even formula is called density. If the density of water is 1, and your drop a stone which weighs 9.3 it will sink. But if it was 1 it would've floated, but if it was a liquid or an oil it would've mixed not floated!!! 8th Grade Science!!! Hope this helps! D= mass over volume
Why do other animals come to the water holes to drink when they see the giraffes are there?

In trial by water if a woman floated what was she?
If she floated she was considered a witch. If she drowned she was considered innocent.

What substance does not dissolve in water but are floated or lifted by water?
oil.
Original car that floated on water?
Aqua-Car
Can a brick floated on water?
No- a brick sinks.
How is it possible that a can with a calculated density greater than 1.00grams could have floated in water?
Buoyancy is related to the amount of water displaced by an object, rather than it's density. You see this with ships all the time. The object may be much more dense than water, but if it can displace enough water to counteract the force of gravitation, it will remain afloat.
How can you find the volume of a cube of an irregular object?
Using displacement in water. Just subtract the height of the water before and after you put the object in.
Why one object floated while the other sank to the bottom of the bowl?
An object will float if it has less density than water - or whatever liquid it's supposed to float on. Equivalently, it will float if it weighs less than the same volume of liquid. An object will sink otherwise - more density than the liquid.
When something goes into a tub of water does the water level go up because of its mass or weight?
Because of it's mass. The water is displaced and raises exactly the volume of the submerged object. Weight does not play a part in it. How heavy or light would only matter if it floated.
Why were people concerned that Owen was in salt water?
He might have floated out to sea
