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.
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.
What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?
An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid it's placed in. The buoyant force acting on the object must be greater than or equal to the object's weight for it to stay afloat. The shape and size of the object also play a role in determining whether it will float.
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.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.
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.

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.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.

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.
How can you determine if something will float or sink?
You can determine if an object will float or sink by comparing its density 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 more dense, it will sink. By using Archimedes' principle, you can calculate the buoyant force acting on the object to determine its buoyancy.
Without placing a object in water how can you determine it will float?
Density
What force determine whether or not an object will float?
i think buoyancy
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
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.
