What relates an object's mass and volume and determines whether an object will sink or float?
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.
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. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Does mass alone determine wheter an object will float or sink?
No. The key to whether an object floats or sinks is the average density, i.e., mass divided by volume. Also, whether an object will float or not also strictly depends on the surface volume. A piece of tin foil shaped into a boat will float and the same mass of tin foil shaped into a crumpled up ball will not float.
Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?
No, you need to consider both the mass and volume of an object in order to predict if it will sink or float. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density, which is determined by dividing the mass by the volume. Objects with density greater than the density of water will sink, while objects with density less than the density of water will float.
Does volume alone determine weather an object will float or sink?
No. A very big rock has a great deal of volume- but it also has a great deal of weight. Drop it in water, and it will sink like a........rock. It is the weight per measure of volume that determines density. If the density is less than the liquid, it floats. Greater than the density of the liquid, it sinks.

Can an object with the volume of 77 grams and a mass of 65 grams float or sink?
It will float.

Does mass determine whether an object will float or sink?
The density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
What is the relationship between the volume and the buoyancy?
Density = mass / volume. An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed. The buoyant force is equal to the volume (this may be the submerged part of the volume) times the density of the displaced fluid.
What does volume and mass have to do with flotationn?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink

What is density and how can it be calculated?
density is whether an object can float or not.To calculate it you need to divide mass over volume. MASS = DENSITY VOLUME
How can you use math to predict if an object will float or sink?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the liquid in which it is placed, it will sink. If the density is less, it will float. You can use math to calculate the density, if you know an object's mass and volume. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
How can you predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
You can predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid by comparing the object's density to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float.
