density

A

the amount of mass in a certain unit volume of a substance

25
mass
amount of matter in a substance
26
Volume
the amount of space occupied by a substance
27
weight
the force of gravity exerted on a mass
28
force
push or pull or anything that causes motion
29
Gravity
the attractive force between masses
30
buoyancy
the tendency to rise or float in a fluid
31
buoyant force
the upward force exerted on an object submerged or floating in fluid
32
average density
the total mass of an object divided by the total volume
33
neutral buoyancy
were the amount of force pushing down on an object | that is submersed in fluid equals the amount of force pushing up
34
Archimedes' principal
the buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
35
