Archimides principle states that the buoyant force of an object goes upward in the same weight of the fluid that the object displaces.

• true

• false

a duck floats on the water because its weight is equal to the buoyant force

• true

• false

a rock sinks because its weight is greater than the buoyant force

• true

• false

the shape of an object also helps determine whether it will sink or float.

• true

• false

something made of steel or other heavy metals cannot float in water

• true

• false

wether an object floats depends on its weight

• true

• false

a rock sinks because its weight is less than the buoyant force

• true

• false

if the density of an object is greater than the fluid where it is, it will sink down

• true

• false

if the density of an object is greater than the fluid where it is, it will float

• true

• false
