100
The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.
What is the definition of Density?
100
When an object floats, these forces are balanced

Gravity and buoyant force

100

Anything that causes a change in the motion of an object.

Define Force?

200

Greater than 1.0g/mL

What is the density of an object that sinks in water?

200

Mass / Density

What is the formula for volume?

200
The amount of space an object takes up.
What is the definition of Volume?
200

Mr. Humpty (egg) did this because density of salt water was greater than Mr. Humpty.

Why did Mr. Humpty float in salt water?

200

The buoyant force acting on an object equals the this quantity for the fluid displaced.

What is weight?

300

Calculate the buoyant force on a 0.5m sided cube. 

The density of water is 1,000kg/m^3

What is the density of an object the floats in water?

300

Density X Volume

What is the formula for mass?

300

The tendency of the material to rise or float in a liquid.

Define Buoyancy?

300

Compare the density of a fish to the density of the water around it

The density of a fish is equal to the density of the water

300

A submerged object will displace an amount of water equal to its _________

Volume

400

Calculate the force required on a .2m^2 piston to raise a 200kg vehicle of the ground using a 0.8m^2 piston

500N?

400

Density*gravity*Height

Formula for pressure change in a liquid

400
Total mass of an object divided by total volumn.
What is average density?
400

Which is greater the force on the bottom of a 20m deep pool, or the force on the bottom of a 20m deep lake?

The force is greater on the lake

(the pressure is the same)

Density* Volume*Gravity

Buoyant Force on an object

500
The upward force excerted on an object submerged in the fluids.
What is Buoyant force?
500

Two blocks have the same volume but different densities.  Compare the volume of water they displace if they both float on the surface of water.

The more dense object will displace more water
