Density
The measure of the amount of matter in an object
Mass
The ability or tendency to float in a fluid
Buoyancy
Force applied over a unit area
Pressure
This state of matter is known for being the least compressible
Solids
The tighter the particles are packed together in a substance, the great "this" is.
Density
A substance that floats experiences "this type of buoyancy"
Positive Buoyancy
We experience the speed of particles as "this"
temperature
This type of fluid experiences a volume change when pressure is applied to it.
Compressible fluid (gas)
The measure of space an object occupies
Volume
True or False
The buoyant force on an object is only dependent on mass.
False!
The buoyant force is dependent on the volume of the object placed in the fluid
"This Law" states that when a pressure is applied on a fluid, that pressure is transferred in all direction through the fluid
Pascal's Law
Ability of a substance to have its volume decreased when squeezed
Compressibility
Which has a greater density?
A piece of gold that takes up 10mL
or a 1m cube of gold
Both are made of the same material, so they have the same density
A submarine experiences this type of buoyancy
Positive to rise, Neutral to remain submerged, and Negative to sink.
It experiences all three
An object immersed in fluid experiences an upward push equal to the volume of fluid displaced.
This theory helps determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects.
