Fluid

Which box has a higher density?  

• Box A
• Box B
• cannot be determined
• they are the same

If an object sinks in a fluid, _____.

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

What do we call the the amount of force exerted on a certain area?

• fluid

• pressure

• buoyant force

• normal force

The upward force exerted by a fluid is called the...

• buoyancy force

• density force

• fluidity force

• normal force

Water pressure increases as depth increases. 

• True
• False

When pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid. This fact is called________.

• Pascal's Principle
• Newton's Principle
• Archimedes' Principle
• Bernoulli's Principle

Which principle do airplanes take advantage of to fly?

• Archimedes' Principle

• Bernoulli's Principle

• Pascal's Principle

What is displacement?

• The ability to float

• Degree of compactness of a substance

• The moving of something from its place or position

Archimedes' Principle states that... 

• The buoyant force acting on an object equals the volume of the fluid displaced by the object. 
• 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 will always be equal. 

Why does ice float?

• Liquid water is less dense than solid water.
• Solid water is less dense than liquid water.
• Gaseous water is less dense than solid water.
• Liquid water is less dense than gaseous water.
