Knowing only its mass, you can't tell.

If every object with LESS than 25 grams of mass sank, then leaves couldn't float.

If every object with MORE than 25 grams of mass sank, then ships, ducks, and icebergs couldn't float.


You also have to know the object's volume:

If this object's volume is more than 25 cc, then its density is less than 1, and it will float.

If this object's volume is less than 25 cc, then its density is more than 1, and it will sink.

Will an object that has a mass of 3.68 grams per cubic centimeter float on water?

No, an object that has a mass of 3.68 grams per cubic centimeter will not float on water. This density is greater than that of water, which has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, so the object will sink in water.


How do you find the mass of an object If the mass of the beaker is 15grams and the total weight is 30.100grams?

Subtract the mass of the beaker from the total weight.


What For an object to float the mass of the water displaced must the mass of the object?

For an object to float, the mass of the water displaced must be equal to the mass of the object. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. When these two masses are equal, the object will float.


Independent variable on float or sink experement?

The independent variable in a float or sink experiment would typically be the object's density or mass, which can be manipulated and varied by the researcher. By changing the density or mass of the object being tested, you can observe how it influences whether the object will float or sink in a liquid.


Will an object float if the volume is bigger than its mass?

If these measurements are made in cubic cemtimeters (volume) and grams (mass) this is true. But, if mass is from the english system, (not really pounds, it is slugs, but who knows what a slug is?) and the volume is cubic feet, this is not true.

What is the mass of an object that has 11grams of mass?

That would be 11 grams.


Can an object weighing at ten grams float in water?

The mass of an object (or its weight) has nothing to do with its ability to float ...consider feathers, rocks, people, and battleships.The determining quantity is the object's density, which is the ratio of its massto its volume.


How do you find the mass of an object If the mass of the beaker is 15grams and the total weight is 30.100grams?

Would an object that is 3.7 Cm3 float in water?

That depends on the object's density, not just on its volume. For example, the object you mention would float if it has a mass of less than about 3.7 gramms.


What would be the mass of the object measured in the picture?

121.2 grams


How an object float in a liquid with illustration?

When the displaced fluid has a mass equal or greater than the mass of an object placed in the fluid, the object will float.

Will an object with a volume of 77 grams per cubic centimeter and a mass of 65 grams float or sink in water?

In order to find if it will float, you have to divide mass by volume (pg 18 in your textbook). 65 divided by 77 = 0.8441558. Now, if the object is less than 1.0g/cm3 (pg 19), it means it will float. Answer: Yes, it will float. Note: LOL I was searching for the answer too, hoping someone would answer your quetion, but no no one did. So I gave up and found it by myself. Oh Lol.


What is the density of an object that has a mass of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm3 would this object float in water explain?

Density is calculated as Mass / Volume. Therefore for an object that has a mass of 350 grams and a volume of 95 cm^3, the density would be 3.684 g/cm^3. Water has an estimated 1g/cm^3 density, therefore the density of this object is greater than that of water and would sink.
