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.

What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?

How does a submarine works that floats then sinks and then again floats?

A submarine sinks as it fills its' ballast tanks with water. Then it uses pressurized air to empty them and float again.


Is density a physical change or chemical?

A change in density may accompany a Physical change. When liquid water becomes solid water, the solid water FLOATS; (is less dense) on top of its liquid form.Density itself is a physical property, not a change.

How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?

You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.


How does water sink and float?

Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
