What most influences whether or not an object will float?
The density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it's placed in is the primary factor influencing whether or not an object will float. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink. Objects that are less dense than water, for example, will float in water.
How could a magnet float?
Whether an object floats or not does not depend on whether it is magnetic. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed.
Comparing the what of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
Comparing the density of an object with that of a liquid will determine whether the object will float or sink in the liquid. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
What force determines whether the object will float?
The buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, determines whether an object will float. If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, it will float. If the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, it will sink.
Which of theses most influences whether or not an object will float?
the object's density
Does volume affect whether an object will sink or float?
Yes, the volume of an object can affect whether it will sink or float. In general, an object with a greater volume will have greater buoyancy, making it more likely to float in a fluid. However, other factors such as density and the density of the fluid will also play a role in determining whether an object will sink or float.
What determines whether an object sinks or float?
density!
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
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.
Comparing the of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
density
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
What law determines whether an object will sink or float in a fluid?
Archimedes' principle determines whether an object will sink or float in a fluid. It states that an object will float if the weight of the displaced fluid is equal to or greater than the weight of the object, and it will sink if the weight of the object is greater than the weight of the displaced fluid.
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.
