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.
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.
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.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
Yes it is because mass and density are physical properties and density is how you can tell if it is going to sink or float. to find out density, you divide the mass by the volume of an object.
No.
Easiest way, which works under normal conditions, is to compare the object's density with that of water, which is conveniently 1.00. You basically take the mass of the object and divide by its volume. If it's greater than 1, it will sink (in water). If it's less, it should float (in water).
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.
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.
You can tell if objects will float or sink byHow buoyant the object isHow dense the object is
they float belly upl... they float belly upl... float and, you don't really need to know because it will be easy to tell that it is dead.
if it ways less then 1 it will float
Calculate the object's density. If the density is less than that of fresh water it will float, if it is more it will sink in fresh water. Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. The density of fresh water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, or 1 kg per litre.
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.
It's difficult to tell what you are asking. If the question is concerned with the bouyancy of the object, it will sink if it first displaces its volume of water, or will float if it first displaces its weight in water. Since density is mass per unit volume, objects with an average density greater than water will sink.
The cube has a larger volume.
Depends on the liquid, different liquids have different densities thus different things will float or sink in them. If it's water you're try throwing the object in a swimming pool.
