Question
Answer
When an object is placed in a fluid with less density than the object, what will happen?   it will sink  
🗑
What are the downwards and upwards forces.   Weight - downwards, buoyant force - upwards  
🗑
What is the abbreviation for weight?   Fg  
🗑
How to calculate downward force?   mass(kg) x gravity(9.8m/seconds(squared))  
🗑
What is the unit for downward force?   Newtons (N)  
🗑
What is buoyancy?   An object is buoyant in water due to the amount of water it displaces  
🗑
If the weight of an object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces what happens?   IT FLOATS  
🗑
If Fg=Fb what happens?   THE OBJECT FLOATS  
🗑
How to calculate buoyant force if you know weight in air and water?   Fb=weight in air-weight in water  
🗑
How to calculate buoyant force without knowing weight in air and water?   Density Fluid x Volume Fluid Displaced x Gravity  
🗑
What is the abbreviation for Buoyancy   Fb  
🗑
What is the density of water?   1g/cm(cubed)  
🗑
Density Formula   D=m/V  
🗑
