| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| density | the measurement of how much mass fits within a certain volume is called |
| particles | density describes how tightly the _____ that make up a substance are packed together. |
| less | objects float if they are _____ dense than the substance in which they are placed. |
| sink | objects _____ if they are denser than the substance in which they are placed. |
| air | Ships can float on water because their hulls are filled with _____ |
| volume | an objects density is found by dividing its mass by its _____ |
| masses | the density of a material depends on the _____ of the particles that make up the material and the distances between the particles. |
| tightly | the particles of a solid then to be packed _____ together. |
| gas | the particles of a _____ tend to be spread out. |
| solid | matter in the _____ state is denser than in the liquid state |
| liquid state | matter in the _____ tends to be denser than in the gaseous state. |
| same | the density of a substance is the _____ no matter how much of the substance is present |
| identify | density can help you _____ an unknown substance |
| fluids | materials that can flow, such as liquids and gases are called _____ |
| buoyancy | objects can float because of _____ |
| pushed | buoyancy occurs because the fluid that is being _____ out of the way pushes back on the object |
| Archimedes' principle | the amount of buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces |
| float | if the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will _____ |
| buoyancy | the ability of an object to float in a fluid |
| density | the measurement of how much mass fits within a certain volume |
| Archimedes' principle | states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces |
| fluid | a material that can flow, such as a liquid or a gas |
