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.
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.
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.
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.
Does mass alone determine wheter an object will float or sink?
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.
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No, volume alone cannot predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object compared to the density of the surrounding fluid is a determining factor - objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while those with a density less than the fluid will float.
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.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Volume will determine how much water will be displaced. The volume of an object dictates how much space it occupies, which in turn determines the amount of water it displaces when submerged. Mass alone does not directly affect water displacement.
What is the weight ratio for height?
There is no weight ratio for height. The weight of an object depends on its the volume and density. The volume depends on the height as well as the average cross section so height, alone, cannot determine weight.
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.

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.
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 do you find the volume using the mass?
If you know an object's mass and its density, then you can calculate its volume.But mass alone doesn't tell you anything about its volume.
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.
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No, volume alone cannot predict whether an object will sink or float. The density of the object compared to the density of the surrounding fluid is a determining factor - objects with a density greater than the fluid will sink, while those with a density less than the fluid will float.
How do you experimentally determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
Personally, what I would do would be to experimentally find a lead fishing sinker, rock, gold coin etc., which, when added to the irregular object, sinks them both. For accuracy, the object selected should be smaller than the irregular object. The smaller, the better. Then, in the usual way, find the volume of the sinker, the rock, or the gold coin alone. Write it down so I don't forget it. Finally, glue the 'ballast' to the irregular object, and measure the volume of the combination by sinking it. From the volume I find, subtract the volume of the ballast alone, and I'll have the volume of the irregular object.
Does speed determine how much ineria an object has?
No, speed alone does not determine how much inertia an object has. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object. An object with more mass will have more inertia, regardless of its speed.
