Buoyancy

Front

What is the equation to find density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume (D = M/V, d=m/v)

Front

Put the liquids in order from most dense to least dense: 1, 2, 3, 4

Back

4, 3, 2, 1

Front

Back

b

Front

What is the upward force that water exerts on an object?

Back

Buoyancy

Front

What is density?

Back

The amount of matter in a given space.

Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

The ability of an object to float in a fluid.

Front

What factors affect buoyancy?

Back

The density of the fluid and the volume of the object.

Front

How does the shape of an object affect its buoyancy?

Back

A wider shape can displace more water, increasing buoyancy.

Front

What is Archimedes' principle?

Back

A body submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

Objects less dense than the fluid will float; those more dense will sink.
