Density
The measure of the amount of matter in an object
What is mass
The ability or tendency to float in a fluid
What is buoyancy
This state of matter is known for being the least compressible
What are solids
The measure of space an object occupies
What is volume
True or False
The buoyant force on an object is only dependent on mass.
What is false!
The buoyant force is dependent on the volume of the object placed in the fluid
This is the only state of matter not considered a fluid
What are solids
What state of matter is typically most dense?
What are solids
What is the term for the large tanks on submarines that can fill with water or release it?
What are ballast tanks
When the fluid is a thicker consistency what word do we use to describe its thickness. (starts with a v)
What is viscosity
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
Which types of buoyancy does a submarine experience?
What are positive, negative, and neutral
Positive to rise, Neutral to remain submerged, and Negative to sink.
What is unique about water when it is in a solid state of matter (ice) compared to other fluids?
What is water is more dense than ice which allows it to float.
The density of an oil is 0.9 g/cm3. The density of sea water is 1.03 g/cm3. When the oil is placed in the sea will the oil have negative, positive or neutral buoyancy?
What is positive buoyancy
What causes objects to have a neutral buoyancy?
What is when the force of gravity is equal to the force of buoyancy.
What is the name of the systems that use the compression of liquid to power machines?
What is hydrodynamics
