What else can I help you with?
Does volume alone determine if a object can float or sink?
No, volume alone does not determine if an object can float or sink. It depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink.
Can you use volume alone predict whether an object will sink or float?
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
Does volume alone determine whether an objects will float or sink?
No, an object's density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines if it will float or sink. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and sink if its density is greater. Volume can influence buoyancy, but it is not the sole factor.
Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?
No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.
Does mass alone determine wheter an object will float or sink?
No. The key to whether an object floats or sinks is the average density, i.e., mass divided by volume. Also, whether an object will float or not also strictly depends on the surface volume. A piece of tin foil shaped into a boat will float and the same mass of tin foil shaped into a crumpled up ball will not float.
How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Whether an object sinks or floats is determined by its density in relation to the density of the fluid it's in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it's more dense, it will sink. The volume of an object alone doesn't affect whether it sinks or floats; it's the relationship between its volume and its overall density that determines its buoyancy.
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No, volume alone cannot predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object compared to the density of the surrounding fluid is a determining factor - objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while those with a density less than the fluid will float.
Does mass alone determine whether an object will sink or float?
Obviously not, because then the 10-ton cruise liners would immediately sink. Volume also plays a part. The more space an object takes up, the more water it displaces (moves). The mass of the water it displaces pushes the objects upward. It is called buoyant force, or buoyancy (boy-an-see). So boats are designed to take up as much space as possible using air (which has little density) inside the vessel.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Volume will determine how much water will be displaced. The volume of an object dictates how much space it occupies, which in turn determines the amount of water it displaces when submerged. Mass alone does not directly affect water displacement.
What is the weight ratio for height?
There is no weight ratio for height. The weight of an object depends on its the volume and density. The volume depends on the height as well as the average cross section so height, alone, cannot determine weight.
Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink Explain?
No. The relationship between mass and displacement does. Think about ships and boats. If had a big block of steel with the same mass a cargo ship and put it in the water, then it would sink. The ship is shaped so that it displaces enough water to keep itself afloat. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, and then weld that material the side of it, then you haven't changed the mass of it, but it will sink.
