A solid object in contact with a liquid in which the solid does not dissolve will sink if the density of the solid is greater than the density of the liquid and will float if the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
No, volume alone does not determine if an object can float or sink. It depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is denser, it will sink.
Yes, the volume of an object can affect whether it will sink or float. In general, an object with a greater volume will have greater buoyancy, making it more likely to float in a fluid. However, other factors such as density and the density of the fluid will also play a role in determining whether an object will sink or float.
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
The object's density relates its mass and volume, determined by dividing mass by volume. If an object's density is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in, it will sink; if less, it will float.
Yes, the volume displacement method can be used for objects that float. This method calculates the volume of an irregular shaped object by measuring the water displaced when the object is submerged. The difference in water levels before and after submerging the object is used to find the volume of the object.
The amount of water needed to make an object float depends on the object's density and volume. The volume of water displaced by the object should be equal to or greater than the volume of the object for it to float. Adding more water will increase the buoyant force.
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.

No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
No.
No, the volume alone does not determine whether an object will float or sink; it is the object's density relative to the fluid it is in that matters. An object will float if its density is less than that of the fluid and sink if its density is greater. Both the mass and volume of the object contribute to its overall density, which ultimately influences buoyancy. Thus, two objects with the same volume can behave differently in water depending on their mass and density.
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.
