What are we calculating in this video?
Pressure
in a
liquid
and
floating
objects
View source
What primarily causes pressure on an object submerged in water?
Surrounding
water molecules
colliding with it
View source
What happens to pressure as an object moves deeper in water?
Pressure
increases
due to more
water
above
View source
What determines the pressure in a liquid?
Density
of the liquid and
gravitational field strength
View source
What is the formula for pressure in a liquid?
Pressure
= height ×
density
× gravitational strength
View source
If the height of the liquid column is 20 meters, density is 1000 kg/m³, and gravitational strength is 9.8 m/s², what is the pressure?
196,000
pascals
View source
What is the pressure at a depth of 90 meters with the same density and gravitational strength?
882,000
pascals
View source
How do you calculate the change in pressure when moving from 20 meters to 90 meters?
Subtract pressure at
20m
from
90m
View source
What is the change in pressure when moving from 20 meters to 90 meters?
686,000
pascals
View source
What is up thrust in relation to submerged objects?
Upward
force exerted by
surrounding
water
View source
Why does a submerged box experience a larger upward force at the bottom?
Because the bottom is
deeper
than the top
View source
What determines whether an object floats or sinks?
Comparison of up thrust and object's
weight
View source
What happens if the weight of an object is larger than the up thrust?
The object
sinks
View source
What happens if the up thrust is larger than the object's weight?
The object
floats
View source
How can we determine if an object will float without calculating up thrust and weight?
By comparing
densities
of object and liquid
View source
If a rock is denser than water, what will happen?
The rock
will sink
View source
If an apple is less dense than water, what will happen?
The apple will
float
View source
What factors affect the pressure in a liquid?
Depth
of the liquid
Density
of the liquid
Gravitational field strength
View source
What are the conditions for an object to float or sink?
If
up thrust
>
weight
, it
floats
If weight > up thrust, it
sinks
View source
What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?
Denser
objects
sink
Less dense objects
float
