Use the spaces below to take notes on the key concepts presented in this study.
Main idea: Buoyancy of an object is determined by properties of the object as well as properties of the fluid surrounding it.

density=mass/volume

More dense at bottom The result of pressure exerted equally in all horizontal directions by water. Pressure at bottom greater than at top

A substance that is able to take the shape of any container that holds it.

If a density is less than that of water (or the liquid it is floating in)

acts against buoyant force

A buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. occurs when an object placed into a fluid moves some of that fluid aside to make room for itself.

    The good and bad of the assembly line

    6. The reason some objects float and some objects don’t float is because when an object is dropped in the water pushes back on the object with a force equal to the weight of the displaced water. The weight of the displaced water is called buoyant force. Also, if the object is less dense than the liquid it will float but if the object is denser than the liquid it will sink.…

    Science Fair on How Objects Float

    My project is about how much salt it will take for objects to float. In my project I will explain why certain objects float while others sink. I took three different objects with different amount of density and put them each in ten cups of water. I then put in teaspoons of water and recorded whether or not the objects floated until all the objects were floating. I was able to see how an objects density affects how much salt is needed to make it float.…

    Fluids Mechanics

    The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally or better by the buoyant force of water. For an object to float it needs to displace an amount of water that weighs more than itself. Body density, or its mass per unit volume, also impacts on the ability to float. Density is an expression of how tightly a body’s matter is enclosed within itself.…

    Egg Flotation

    If you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom. If you add enough salt, the egg will float to the surface. Density is the mass or volume of an object. It’s easier to think of it as the thickness of the object. Buoyancy is the force that allows an object to float. I performed a fun experiment to see how increasing density of water could make an egg float or submerge. Anyone can do it.…

    King Archimedes Research Paper

    Archimedes, considered on of the greatest minds of the ancient world was born on the island of Sicily in the Greek city of Syracuse in the year 287 B.C.. Syracuse at the time was an independent Greek city-state with a 500-year history. He was the son of Phidias who was a Greek Astronomer and Mathematician. All that we know about Archimedes comes from his existing manuscripts, and from ancient historians such as Plutarch and Cicero among others centuries after his death. Considering the length of time between Archimedes death and the historians' accounts, along with the nonuniformity of their writings, some details of his life have to be subject to question. For example, Plutarch has been stated saying that Archimedes was related to King…
