An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.

Is volume of liquid displaced by a floating cork more or less than the volume of the cork?
If the cork is floating, then part of it is underwater and part of it is abovewater. The part that's above water is not displacing water, so the volumedisplaced is less than the total volume of the cork.Here's a mantra that will, come in very handy if you memorize it and thenfile it away until you need it:"A sinking object displaces its volume.A floating object displaces its weight." I can't think of any way that an object in water could displace morethanits volume.
An object displaces 652 ml of water. The volume of the object is?
652 cc (unless it was floating).
WHY do heavier odjects sink on water?
An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.
How do you calculate the density of both an irregular and regular shaped floating object?
To calculate the density of an irregular shaped floating object, you can measure its mass using a balance and then find its volume by submerging it in a known volume of water and measuring the water displaced. For a regular shaped floating object, you can simply divide its mass by its volume to find the density.
How do you predict the density of a floating object?
To predict the density of a floating object, you can compare the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is floating in. For an object to float, its density must be less than the density of the fluid. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume.

What is true about the mass and volume of all floating objects?
The volume of liquid displaced has the same mass as the floating object.
An object displaces 652 ml of water. The volume of the object is?
652 cc (unless it was floating).

How do you find the volume of a sinking object?
You can't. All you can tell is that it's more dense than the fluid in which it's sinking.

If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater true or false?
It's true that the volume of displaced water of a floating object equalst the portion of that object that is underwater.
How do you find the volume of a floating object?
Exactly the same as for a non-floating object. Finding the volume of a shape does not vary, (i.e it's always something along the lines of height*width*depth, or area of base *height. "Table" or "surface" is irrelevant, since if it not a variable in the formula). This is true whether the object is floating or not.
Does the weight of a gallon of water increase when an object is floating in it?
Yes. The floating object is an addition to the mass system, even though it cannot displace its entire volume in the water.
True or false if a object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
True. According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced by an object floating in a fluid (like water) is equal to the volume of the part of the object that is submerged in the fluid.
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water?
The volume of the water displaced by an object floating in a liquid is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that is submerged in the liquid. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
