What else can I help you with?
What do you call something when it can float?
An object that can float on water or other fluids is called buoyant.
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.
Do aluminum blocks float?
Depends on what they're dropped into. Water - no. But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.
How will you determine if something will float in water?
If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.
How do you determine if something will sink or float in water?
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
Does lode stone float?
No. To get them to float they must be placed on something light.
If something is buoyant does it float?
yes
What is it when something does not sink and does not float?
It is suspended.
What do you call something when it can float?
An object that can float on water or other fluids is called buoyant.
The word for something ability to float is?
buoyancy
What is bouencey?
'Bouyancy' is the ability of something to float.
Is there something else to float a balloon?
gas

What controls buoyancy?
It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
What is buoyancy controlled?
It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
