the amount of space an object occupies

the amount of matter an object has

Archimedes' Principle states that...

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

The buoyant force acting on an object equals the volume of the fluid displaced by the object.

The buoyant force acting on an object will always be equal.

Which will result in positive buoyancy?

When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity

When the buoyant force is equal to the force of gravity

When the buoyant force is less than the force of gravity

How could you make plastic sink and steel float?

Change the shape and therefore surface area

which of the following statements is true?

oil floats on water because oil is less dense than water

oil does not float on water because water is more dense

water floats on oil because water is less dense

If an object sinks in a fluid, _____.

the density of the fluid is less than the density of the object

the density of the fluid is greater than the density of the object

the density of the fluid is equal to the density of the object

density has nothing to do with whether an object sinks or floats, only which state of matter the object is

An object will will be partially submerged in a fluid if ____.

the weight of an object is equal to the buoyant force

the weight of an object is greater than the buoyant force

the weight of an object is less than the buoyant force

the weight doesn't affect if an object sinks, only its state of matter
