The density of things that sink is greater than the density of water. In the metric system, this would be 1 gram per cm3, so the measure of the mass of the sinking object (in grams) should be greater than the measure of its volume (in cm3).

The shape would effect resistance,

the mass would not be the major factor, but its density (in respect to water) would be a major factor.

How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?

Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it


What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?

The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........


Two forces that can affect an object's velocity?

Gravity and friction.


Does high velocity affect rate of change of velocity?

No. The rate of change of an object's velocity depends only on the forces acting on it.


How does air resistance affect objects moving through the air?

Resistance (newtons) = velocity( in m/s)2 * drag coefficient of the object


Does the amount of water affect the floatation fo an object?

No, As long as you can see if the object is floating or sinking, then the amount of water does not matter


How does air resistance affect fallig objects?

terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.


How does an unbalanced force affect a moving object at a constant velocity?

If the group of forces on an object is unbalanced, then the object can't have constant velocity. Its speed or the direction of its motion must change.


Name the two forces that can affect an object's velocity?

friction and gravity


Does the Magnitude of a charge affect the velocity of body?

That depends on the exact situation. If there is an interaction with other charges, this can cause the object to acceleration (basically, change its velocity), and the greater the object's charge, the faster its velocity will change.


What two factors affect how much an object moves?

By finding its mass and Velocity


How velocity of an object can affect its work?

work is the product of force and displacement As velocity is rate of change of displacement, so yes, velocity does effect work.
