density/Buoyancy

Front

What is the formula for pressure in fluids?

Back

P = F/A

Front

Who discovered the principle of buoyancy?

Back

Archimedes

Front

What are the three states of matter?

Back

Solids, liquids, gases

Front

What two types of measurements make up DENSITY?

Back

Mass and Volume

Front

What does Archimedes' Principle state?

Back

The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight (force of gravity) of the fluid displaced by the object.

Front

What is the definition of density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of a substance?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, density decreases.

Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid.

Front

What is the relationship between buoyancy and density?

Back

An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid.

Front

What is the unit of density?

Back

Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
