What is buoyancy?

the tendency to rise or float in water or air.

OR: the upward supportive force of an object in a fluid.

What is the equation for density?

Density = Mass/volume

100

Explain melting

The change from solid to liquid

What is a fluid?

Any substance that flows
100

What is weight?

The force of a gravity exerted on an object

200

What is buoyant force?

The upward force exerted on objects submerged in fluids

Explain vaporization

change from liquid to gas

What is capacity?

The greatest amount of fluid that a container can hold

300

What is density?

The amount of mass in a certain unit volume of a substance

The state of matter of a substance that has a definite volume but no definite shape

300

What is displacement?

To take the place of something else.

400

1 cm3

400

Explain freezing

Change from liquid to solid

400

What is a gas?

The state of matter of a substance that has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume

400

What is the Archimedes Principle?

The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object

500

What is volume?

A Measurement of the amount of space occupied by the substance

0.715 g

500

Explain sublimation

Change from solid to gas

Give the 5 major points of the particle theory

1) All matter is made up of very small particles

2) All particles in a pure substance are the same

3) There is space between the particles

4) Particles are always moving

5) The particles in a substance are attracted to each other

What determines if an object floats or sinks?

If the buoyant force is stronger than the force of gravity, the object will float.

If the force of gravity is stronger than the buoyant force, the object will sink.
