Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is whether an object sinks or floats.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the measure of the amount of matter in a given volume of an object.

Front

What is conductivity?

Back

Conductivity is the ability of a material to carry energy.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in determining density?

Back

Density increases as mass increases if volume remains constant.

Front

What happens to the buoyancy of an object as its density increases?

Back

The object is more likely to sink if its density is greater than the fluid's density.

Front
