If an object does not sink in water, it means the object's density is less than that of water. To find the volume of such an object, you can measure its mass and then divide by the density of water (1000 kg/m^3) to calculate the volume. The formula for volume is volume = mass/density.
What else can I help you with?
If you the mass and volume of an object how can you predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
What will an object do if its density is greater than that of water?
Density can also be considered volume in this question meaning that the object will sink.
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
An object will sink in water if its density is greater than that of water. If the density of the object is less than that of water, it will float. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with more mass in a smaller volume will sink, while objects with less mass spread out over a larger volume will float.
Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
Does volume alone determine weather an object will float or sink?
No. A very big rock has a great deal of volume- but it also has a great deal of weight. Drop it in water, and it will sink like a........rock. It is the weight per measure of volume that determines density. If the density is less than the liquid, it floats. Greater than the density of the liquid, it sinks.
How does density determine if a object will sink or float?
If it is in water, the density for water is 1. If the object is less than 1, it will float. If it is more than more, it will sink. To find the density, you do mass divided by volume.
Why does object sink in water?
because it is denser (more mass/volume.)
If you the mass and volume of an object how can you predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
What happens to an object that has bigger mass than volume in water?
Essentially, if its density exceeds that of water, it will sink. If its density is equal to or less than, it will float.Note : Density of water, approx 1 g / cubic centimetre.
What will an object do if its density is greater than that of water?
Density can also be considered volume in this question meaning that the object will sink.
How do you find the volume of a kitchen sink?
put water in it
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
An object will sink in water if its density is greater than that of water. If the density of the object is less than that of water, it will float. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with more mass in a smaller volume will sink, while objects with less mass spread out over a larger volume will float.
Would a 0.85g object float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
That depends entirely on the volume of the object
How do you know if an object will sink or float in water based only their densities?
If a volume can be neglected the object must have less density than water.
Can you use volume alone to predict whether an object will sink or float?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.

It is the weight per measure of volume that determines density. If the density is less than the liquid, it floats. Greater than the density of the liquid, it sinks.
Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?
No, you need to consider both the mass and volume of an object in order to predict if it will sink or float. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density, which is determined by dividing the mass by the volume. Objects with density greater than the density of water will sink, while objects with density less than the density of water will float.
