What will happen to a solid object made from matter with a greater density that water when it is dropped into water?

It will sink when the object is placed in water.


How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?

An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

When the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the object how do the densities of the object and water compare?

Is is related through Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the submerged object. The weight of a volume of water is equal to the volume x density of water x the gravitational constant.FB = V ρ g


How can one determine if an object will float in water based on its density?

An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink.


Can density tell us what percentage of a floating object will be above the water?

Yes, the density of an object can help determine how much of it will float above the water. An object with a density greater than water will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. The percentage of the object above water will depend on its density compared to the density of water.

What will happen to a solid object made from water with great density than water when it is dropped into water?

It will depend on the shape of the object. The density of the object does not matter, what matters is the mass of the volume of water that it will displace.

Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?

The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
