What determines if an object sinks or floats?
A 1587g block of lead has dimensions of 4.62cm by 3.86cm by 7.22cm. Calculate the density of lead.
287.3 grams of Mercury metal is poured into and fills a graduated cylinder that holds exactly 30.5 mL. Calculate the density of Mercury.
What is the weight of the brown object?
Explain why the spring scale reads 14 N (image b).
What is the buoyant force in image c?
Explain why the weight of the object seems to decrease as it is submerged.
A 100-cm3 block of lead that weighs 11 N is carefully submerged in water. 1 cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N.
What volume of water does the lead displace?
A 100-cm3 block of lead that weighs 11 N is carefully submerged in water. 1 cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N. What is the weight of that volume of water?
A 100-cm3 block of lead that weighs 11 N is carefully submerged in water. 1 cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N. What is the buoyant force on the lead?
Which block would have a greater density?
Which 320 g block would have a greater density? Explain why.
During a storm, the wind exerts a 150 N force on a .5 m by .5 m (.5 m squared) window. What pressure does the wind exert on the window?
Which guy would feel the least amount of pressure? Why?
Using Pascal’s principle, explain how you can squeeze anywhere on the toothpaste tube, and the toothpaste comes out the opening.
Explain how an airplane wing gets lift using Bernoulli’s Principle.
Using the graph, explain the relationship between pressure and depth of a fluid
