Answer 2

hey! let me give this a shot after I type something into my homework...brb :)

Answer 3

The mass question is inconclusive, as well as the volume question; that leaves us with density; let's go through the theory behind our answer for the lulz xD

The density of an object illustrates how much mass ocuppies a certain volume; think of volume as how much space you have, and mass as how much of it you actually are taking up. Your mass also has an affect on the force keeping you to the ground. In terms of water, we're considering anything from an ocean to a drop; it all has the same density. When your density is lower than a certain substance, you will float to its top, which is why we can float on the surface of a lake, but won't float through our atmosphere

Answer 4

yeah! any questions on what I said? Density is the ratio of mass to volume, and increase with your force of gravity; hence, air floats but people don't :)
