  • Density formula:
    d=m/v
  • Density:
    mass and density is directly proportional
  • Density:
    density and volume is inversely proportional
  • density of water:
    1 g/mL
  • density is made up of two other measurements -mass and volume
  • different materials have different densities
  • the density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance
  • an object will float if it is less dense than the surrounding liquid
  • Water Displacement:
    Voume of the object is equal to the volume of the displaced water
  • Density of water : 1g/cm^3
  • The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of an object, and a reference substance. The specific gravity can tell us, based on its value, if the object will sink or float in our reference substance.

    -comparing the sensity of a substance with that of the density of pure water
  • Buoyancy
    The ability of an object
    to float in a fluid
  • Buoyant force
    The upward force that acts on a submerged object.
    It acts opposite of gravity.
  • Positively bouyant
  • Positive Buoyant
  • Negatively Buoyant
  • Neutrally Buoyant
  • Pressure in all directions
    • horizontal preassures cancel each other out
  • •Archimedes' principle is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law in 212 B.C
  • Archimedes' principle
    •Any fluid applies a buoyant force to an object that is partially or completely immersed in it: the magnitude of the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid that the object displaces”
  • The “upward” force
     is acting on an
    object due to the
    displaced fluid
  • ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE states that the WEIGHT of the amount of water displaced is equal to the BUOYANT FORCE
  • Formula of archimedes principle:
    Fb = ρfluidVg
  • Fb > Wobject  :  RISE
  • Fb ≈ Wobject  : FLOAT
  • Fb < Wobject  : SINK
  • SP GR DISTANCE > 1, object sinks on the water
  • SP GR DISTANCE < 1, object floats on the water
  • SP GR DISTANCE = 1, object stays at any level of water
