    Ralph - One of the main characters in the novel. He has many characteristics such as being very athletic‚ charismatic‚ leading‚ and a smart protagonist of the group of kids. Ralph was elected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the book. While most of the other boys are mainly concerned with having fun and not doing any work‚ Ralph focuses on building huts and thinking of ways to increase their chances of being rescued. Ralph’s influence over the other boys is safe at the beginning of the

    deeper under the sea the density of the water does not change‚ and this means that if the submarine’s buoyancy is less than its weight at one depth it will also be less than its weight at any other depth‚ and so‚ unless other forces are involved‚ when water is let into the air tanks the submarine will sink right to the bottom of the sea no matter how deep it is. A submarine is kept level at any depth by maintaining a balance between the air and water. The submarine’s density must be equal to the surrounding

    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

    tanks to raise density and allow the submarine to sink and it also pumped out to reduce density and hence allow the submarine to float. The tanks can be filled with water and air‚ which allows the submarine to sink or rise in the water. When a submarine is floating‚ its ballast tanks are filled with air‚ which makes it less dense than the sea water it displaces hence allowing it to float. Submarines sink when water is let into the ballast tank. This is because the submarine’s density becomes greater

    (or drag) FD‚ and the buoyancy force FB balance the gravitational force Fg (= mg) FD + FB = Fg (1) When this equilibrium is reached‚ the body continues to fall‚ but at a constant velocity‚ called the terminal velocity. (ii) Archimedes ’ Principle states that the buoyancy force acting on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. If the body immersed is a sphere of volume V and radius r‚ the volume of fluid displaced is also V. Thus if the density of the fluid is L

    Principle: Cyclone desander is based on the principles of centrifugal sedimentation and density difference‚ when the water under a certain pressure from desanding into the equipment by the inlet to tangential‚ it will come about a strong rotation‚ due to the different density of sand and water‚ under the common action of the centrifugal force‚ centripetal force‚ buoyancy and fluid drag force‚ make the low density water rising‚ and expel from the outlet‚ the dense sand will be discharge outlet from

Similarly‚ when a fish is pulled out of water‚ it appears to be heavier in air than inside the water. All objects whether completely
