Sink or Float

If the weight of the water displaced is the same as the weight of the object placed in the water, the object will sink.

• 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 is buoyant force?

• An upward force exerted by fluids on an object.

• An downward force exerted by fluids on an object.

The up thrust of the body is equal to the

• weight of liquid

• mass of liquid

• weight of liquid displaced

• density of liquid

If the weight of an object that is submerged in a fluid is 10 N and the buoyant force on it is 20 N, what will happen to the object?

• It will sink

• It will float

• It will remain in equilibrium

• More information is needed

• It will sink initially, then float

The upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in or floating on the liquid

• pressure
• buoyant force
• normal force
• gravity

When the weight of an object is greater than the buoyant force, the object will ...

What direction is the buoyant force in?

• Downward
• Left
• Right
• Upward

The upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in or floating on the liquid

• pressure
• buoyant force
• normal force
• gravity

The buoyant force on floating objects equals the weight of the floating object
