Archimedes' Principle

The upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in or floating on the liquid

• pressure
• buoyant force
• normal force
• gravity

The buoyant force on floating objects equals the weight of the floating object 

• true
• false

What is the volume of Object X?

• 10.0 cm³
• 15.0 cm³
• 20.0 cm³
• 25.0 cm³

Archimedes' Principle states that... 

• The buoyant force acting on an object equals the volume of the fluid displaced by the object. 
• The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight (force of gravity) of the fluid displaced by the object.
• The buoyant force acting on an object will always be equal. 

What direction is the buoyant force in?

• Downward
• Left
• Right
• Upward

The ship was able to float in the water because its weight was the same as the weight of the water it displaced.

• True
• False

What is the formula for density?

• density = mass x volume
• density = mass / volume
• density = mass + volume
• density = mass - volume

What happens when you heat a gas?

• It gains mass.
• It loses mass.
• It increases in volume.
• It decreases in volume.
