Based on its density. For example, waters density is 1 g/mL. If something has a density greater than 1 g/mL it will sink in water. If it has a density less than 1g/mL it will float in water.

How can you predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
Measure the mass and volume of both to determine each's density (mass/volume). If the object is less dense; it will float, if it is mroe dense; it will sink.
How can knowing an object's density help you predict whether the object will float or sink in a fluid?
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?
NO
Can you use volume alone to predict wether an object will sink or float?
No.
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.

What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.

No.
How can you use the density of an object to predict weather it will sink or float?
if the density of the object was higher than 1 then it will sink if less than 1 it will float in water....

How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
