5.2 Buoyancy

What is buoyant force?

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

Density is the relationship between which two quantities?

• Mass and volume

• Mass and weight

• Volume and weight

How does an object's density affect the buoyant force acting on it?

• The more dense the object, the greater the buoyant force

• The less dense the object, the greater the buoyant force

• Density has no effect on buoyant force

A brick weighs the most in.......

• air

• water

• space

A cork in water will...

• Floater

• Sinker

• Neutrally buoyant

What does buoyant mean?

• to float

• to push

• to fly

• to sink

Th ability to float is called __________.

• buoyancy

• displacement

• gravity

When the weight of a submerged object is ________________ than the buoyant force, the object will sink.

• greater

• less

• the same

When the density of a submerged object is greater than the fluid it is in, the object will ________.

• sink

• float

• remain in place
