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.
