Archimedes

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. 

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

If an object weighing 50.0 N displaces a volume of water with a weight of 10.0 N, what is the buoyant force on the object?

• 10 N

• 60 N

• 40 N 

• 20 N 

The weight of the fluid that an object displaces is equal to the buoyant force acting on the object

Describe buoyancy and state Archimedes' principle.

• Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is greater than the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

• Buoyancy is the downward force exerted by a fluid on an immersed object.

• Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to sink in a fluid.

• Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

When an object is immersed in a fluid, it pushes the fluid out of the way and takes its place. This is ...
