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.
Can scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float. False True?
True. Scientists can use the measure of density to determine if an object will float or sink in a fluid. If the density of an object is less than that of the fluid, it will float; if the density is greater, it will sink.
How can you tell if an object will float in water from its gravity?
You can determine if an object will float in water by comparing its density to the density of water. If the object is less dense than water, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object is determined by the density of the object and the density of the fluid it is submerged in.
Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.
What does the property of volume tell you about an object?
it can tell you about the size, shape and color of the object.

What does the density of an object tell us?
density tells us how packed the object is

How does the density of an object tell you if it will sink or float?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the fluid you put it in, then it sinks. If less, then it floats in that fluid.
Comparing the of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
density
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
How do you use mass and volume to determine density and why is this an important property?
Density is mass divided by volume. It is important because it is a measure of how tightly packed the mass of an object is. For example, density will tell you whether something floats or sinks.
How can you tell if an object will float in water from its gravity?
You can determine if an object will float in water by comparing its density to the density of water. If the object is less dense than water, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object is determined by the density of the object and the density of the fluid it is submerged in.
How do you tell if something float or sink?
An object will float if its density is less than that of the fluid it is in, while it will sink if its density is greater. To determine this, you can compare the object's weight to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the object displaces a weight of fluid greater than its own weight, it will float; otherwise, it will sink. This principle is known as buoyancy.
Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?
Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.
What does the property of volume tell you about an object?
it can tell you about the size, shape and color of the object.
A small object is able to remain suspended when dropped into a container of water. What does this tell you about the object's density in relation to the density of water?
It means that the object has an equal density to the water.
