BUOYANCY PHYSICS Student: Instructor: Criteria : Design Introduction The purpose of this experiment to find the effect of temperature on buoyancy . Backround Information Buoyancy (also known as the buoyant force) is the force exerted on an object that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. The symbol for the magnitude of buoyancy is B or FB As a vector it must be stated with both magnitude and direction. Buoyancy acts upward for the kind of situations encountered in everyday experience

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

Chee Yong Hui 6.5 Domino Effect IA Investigate the effect of the distance between each domino on the time taken for all the dominoes to fall Independent Variable: Distance‚ d/cm‚ between each domino. The distance d/cm is measured between the middle of one domino to the middle of the next domino Dependent Variable: Time taken for all the dominoes to be toppled to the ground. The timing will start when the 1st domino is hit by a metal ball and it will stop when the last domino falls completely

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

IB Physics Internal Assessment Andy Tang Research Question In this internal assessment‚ I am given a cantilever to find the physical properties of it. I decide to investigate the relationship between the force I act on one side of the cantilever and the maximum acceleration the tail can reach. This experiment will be also showing the elasticity of the cantilever. Since I pull down one side of it and fixed the other side‚ when I cut the string‚ it will bounce up and down until all the internal
