which of the following determines an object’s ability to float in water? a. how much the object weighs b. what the mass of the object is c. how dense the object is d. the volume of the object
Added by Melanie D.
Step 1
This relationship is governed by Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The weight of an object is related to its mass (option b) and the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…
