• True
• False

The ship was able to float in the water because its weight was the same as the weight of the water it displaced.

• True
• False

What was the principle Archimedes discovered?

• Principle of Volume
• Principle of Density

• Principle of Gravity

What is buoyant force?

• An upward force exerted by fluids on an object.
• An downward force exerted by fluids on an object.

What does buoyant mean?

• float
• push
• flying, yeah!!!!!!
• sink

An empty water bottle floating on the water is an example of....

• positive buoyancy
• negative buoyoncy

• negative buoyancy
• positive buoyancy

pushes an ice cube to the top of a glass of water

• buoyant force
• density
• a sinking object

What is the formula for density?

• density = mass x volume
• density = mass / volume
• density = mass + volume
• density = mass - volume
