Buoyancy

• The buoyant force acting on an object depends on ________________

• The weight of the object

• • The density of the object

• • The density of the fluid

• • The shape of the object

• According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant force is equal to the

• • Weight of the object

• • Weight of the displaced fluid

• • Volume of the displaced fluid

• • Density of the object

• An object floats on water if its

• • Density is greater than water’s density

• • Density is equal to water’s density

• • Density is less than water’s density

• • Mass is greater than water’s mass

• What happens to the buoyant force if an object is fully submerged deeper in the fluid?

• • It increases

• • It remains constant

• • It decreases

• • It becomes zero

• A floating object displaces a volume of water equal to its

• • Weight

• • Density

• • Volume

• • Mass
