It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas.
If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1).
Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float.
It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
What else can I help you with?
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.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
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.
Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. An object with a higher density than water will sink, while an object with a lower density will float. Mass does play a role in determining density but is not the sole factor in whether something floats or sinks.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
What is it when something does not sink and does not float?
It is suspended.
Does a pen float?
Whether a pen floats or sinks in water depends on its material. A plastic pen will typically float, while a metal pen will likely sink. The density of the material determines whether an object will float or sink in water.
What is the property of that makes something sink or float?
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
What is the physical property that determines whether an object will sink or float?
The physical property that determines whether an object will sink or float is its density. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are placed in will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
Do ginger people float or sink in water?
no they dont float like normal people
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.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
