Answer from: angelica9613

no.

Density (mass / volume) determines whether an object floats or sinks. If the object is less dense than the medium in which it has been submerged, it floats. if it is more dense, it sinks. Volume will definitely determine if a steel ship floats, as steel is far more dense than water.

Answer from: justinbailey96

Explanation:

The density of an object is the determinant factor if an object will stay afloat or sink. Density of an object is the ratio of mass of an object to its volume

ρ = m / v

Where p = density

m = mass

V = volume of an object.

From the mathematical equation,

Object with higher mass compared to its volume will sink while objects with lower mass compared to its volume will stay afloat.

Also the density of the object as to be compared to the density of the solution. If an object A has a higher density than liquid B, and A is placed on B, A will definitely sink because it has a higher density compared to liquid B. However is A has a lower density compared to liquid B, A will remain afloat.

Answer from: Quest

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165) now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon. however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant. in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
