What else can I help you with?
Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink Explain?
No. The relationship between mass and displacement does. Think about ships and boats. If had a big block of steel with the same mass a cargo ship and put it in the water, then it would sink. The ship is shaped so that it displaces enough water to keep itself afloat. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, and then weld that material the side of it, then you haven't changed the mass of it, but it will sink.
What relates an object's mass and volume and determines whether an object will sink or float?
The object's density relates its mass and volume, determined by dividing mass by volume. If an object's density is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in, it will sink; if less, it 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.
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.
What causes things to sink?
Things sink when the gravitational force pulling them down is greater than the buoyant force pushing them up. This is influenced by factors such as the density and volume of the object and the density of the surrounding fluid. If an object is denser than the fluid it is placed in, it will sink.
Will a camera sink in quicksand?
Anything with weight and mass will sink in quicksand.
What makes us float?
We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.
Why does a cherry sink in water?
Because of its weight and mass
How much mass would it take to sink a 1.5 cubic meter drum?
Assuming that the drum itself has no mass and weight, calculate the mass of the liquid in which you want to place the drum. Use the formula: mass = density x volume The amount of mass to sink the drum will have to be that amount, or more.
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
What will not sink in quick sand?
Improvement: quick sand doesn't sink in quicksand and things with low density X mass

Why does object sink in water?
because it is denser (more mass/volume.)
Does mass determine whether an object will float or sink?
The density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
What does the mass have to be to sink and float?
Mass less than 1 floats. Mas greater than 1 sinks.
