9 - Mod 2 Lesson 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| pressure | the force per unit of area applied on a surface of an object |
| buoyant force | the upward force on an object in a fluid exerted by the surrounding fluid |
| Archimedes' Principle | States that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object. |
| negative buoyancy | The weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force, and the object sinks. |
| positive buoyancy | The buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, and the object floats. |
| neutral buoyancy | The buoyant force and the weight of the object are equal, and the object will hover in the water. |
