• The books because they have more volume.

• The books because they are more dense.

• The sponges because they have more space.

• Neither.

• No, because the smaller object takes up less space.

• No,because the smaller object has less volume.

• Yes, if the smaller object has more mass.

• Yes, if the smaller object has more density.
