Density
What Is Density?
The amount of mass contained in a given volume.
What Is Viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow.
What Is Buoyancy?
The ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.
What Is Pressure?
Pressure is the amount of force applied to a given area.
What Is An Oil Spill?
An oil spill is the release of a liquid oil into the environment.
What Is The Particle Theory?
As the temperature of molasses is increased it flows faster - Low viscosity
As the temperature of cooking oil is decreased it flows slower - High viscosity
How Do Items Stay Buoyant?
The density of the object is equal to the density of the fluid.
What Happens When An Object Is Under Intense Pressure?
When fluids are under a great deal of pressure, compression occurs
What's The Impact Of An Oil Spill?
Since oil is less dense than water, it floats on top. This simple fact makes spills easier to clean up. However, large bodies of water (such as oceans) have currents, which makes it more difficult to clean up because both fluids are constantly mixing.
Can An Object Have Different Densities When The Temperature Changes? True Or False?
True.
What Is A Fluid?
A substance that has no fixed shape and yields easily to external pressure; a gas or a liquid.
Why Do Some Items Float But Some Sink?
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of the fluid, the substance will sink.
If the density of a substance is less than the density of the fluid, the substance will float.
If the density of a substance is the very same as the density of a fluid, the substance will “hover” in place.
How Do You Calculate Density?
Density= Mass Over Volume
