Buoyancy & Pressure
100
Something that has mass and takes up space.
Matter
100
What is the equation to solve for density.
mass/volume=Density
100

This states that force exerted on an object in a liquid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

What is Archimedes' Principle

100
This is the formula for density.
mass/volume
100

If the weight of a an object is greater than the buoyant force then it will (sink or float)?

Sink

200

A pure substance that contains only one kind of matter.

Element

Mass of 50. Volume of 10. What is the Density?
50/10=5
200

A measure of the upward pressure a fluid exerts on an object.

Buoyancy

200
Which has a greater mass, a 1000 grams of feathers or 1000 grams of bricks?
What is neither, they have exactly the same mass: 1000 grams.

P1*V1=P2V2

300

This cannot be separated into different kinds of matter by physical means.

Substances

300
Mass 120. Volume 60. What is the Density?
120/60=2
300

This states that as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases proportionately. 

Boyle's Law

300
This can be calculated by length x width x height OR by water displacement.

0.6 g/cm
500

What unit do we use for density?

g/cm^3

500
This will change based on the planet you are on.
Weight
500

A 15cm^3 block of gold weighs 2.8N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm^3 of mercury weighs 0.13N.

What is the weight of the mercury displaced by the gold and will the gold float?

1.95 N, it will sink
