    1. A Little About Buoyancy o In order to understand how a boat can float in water we must first go over one of the principles behind such a feat: buoyancy. This principle in physics was discovered by the mathematician Archimedes about 2‚000 years ago‚ so it has been taught and understood for some time now. The basics of buoyancy involve the relationship between the weight of the object in question‚ in this case a boat‚ and the weight of the water it displaces. If the object weighs more than the

    tersely: Buoyancy = weight of displaced fluid. Archimedes’ principle does not consider the surface tension (capillarity) acting on the body‚[3] but this additional force modifies only the amount of fluid displaced‚ so the principle that Buoyancy = weight of displaced fluid remains valid. The weight of the displaced fluid is directly proportional to the volume of the displaced fluid (if the surrounding fluid is of uniform density). In simple terms‚ the principle states that the buoyancy force

    Research: The word density means the degree of compactness of a substance. There is density in everything in your everyday life (matter.)The formula to find density is d=m/v.The density of solids and liquids is usually stated as g/cm3‚ while gases are usually stated as kg/m3. A real life example of density would be that ice floats on water because it is less dense than water‚ or it sinks because it is more dense than water. The only substance that breaks this rule is ice. Archimedes was

    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: DENSITY Introduction According to the definition Density is the physical property that allows us to compare the mass of substances for a specific volume. In this Lab activity that took place in Deree College‚ Agia Paraskevi Campus we deal with the density of solids and density of liquids. The main purpose of this experiment is to understand what in reality density means‚ how we can measure it‚ how useful it is‚ what is the difference between density of solids and liquids

To do this we will be get the mass of the object and determine the volume of the object by placing it into a liquid. Then we will divide mass by volume and get its density.

Throughout the lab I found out that both of the small and large silver rod‚ do not have the same density‚ and also found out that the gold rod is not real gold. My hypothesis is that since‚ the large and small silver rod has about the same density I believe that they would have about the same amount of volume. They both might displace the same amount

    Problem How do ships float even though they are so heavy? Research • What is buoyancy? – Buoyancy is the upward force caused by a fluid such as water. • What is Archimedes Principle? – The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. • What is density? – Density is the mass of a material per unit volume. – Example: The density of steel is 10 times more than the density of wood. Hypothesis I think when the weight of the object is greater than the displaced water
