Density And buonyant Force Test Flashcards
- What is the tool used to measure the mass of an object
Balance
- Define mass
A measure of the amount of matter in an object
- An empty cylinder has a mass of 23 grams. When the liquid is added, the mass become 57 grams. What is he mass of the liquid by itself?
57-23= 34 grams
- Define volume
A measure of the size of a body or region in three-dimensional space.
- What tool is used to measure the volume of liquid
Graduated cylinder
- What tool is used to measure the volume of a regularly-shapes object
Metric Ruler
- What is the formula used to calculate the volume of a regular-shaped object
L x W x H
- What is the method of calculating the volume of an irregularly-shaped object
Water displacement
- If an object placed in water rises the water level 5 milliliters, what is the objects volume
5 cm3
- 1 milliliter=
1 cm3
- Define density
The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance
- Explain why a golf ball has a higher density than a table-tennis ball
A golf ball is denser than a table-tennis ball because the golf ball contains more matter in a similar volume
- True or False: If an object has a larger volume than another object made of the exact same material, it is denser
False
- If the density of lead is 12 g/cm3, calculate the mass of piece of lead that has a volume of 45 cm3
12 x 45= 540g
- Write the density of a triangle and write the correct metric units for each part
M / \ D V Mass= grams Density= g/cm3 or g/mL Volume= mL
- Write the three formulas for calculating density, mass, and volume using the density triangle
Mass= DxV
Density=M/V
Volume=M/D
- If an object’s density is over 1g/cm3 will it float or sink? What if an objects density is over 1g/cm3
Sink
Float
- If an object’s mass is more than its volume, will it sink or float? If an objects volume is more than its mass, will it float or sink?
Sink
Float
- On a graph which line represents the highest density: steepest or least steep
Steepest
- If ice can float on the surface of water, is it just as dense as water or less dense
Less dense
- Define buoyant force
The upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a liquid
- True or False: Buoyant force works against the downward pull of gravity
True
- What happens to the pressure of a fluid as an object’s goes deeper
Pressure increases as depth increases. There’s more pressure at the bottom than the top of the object
- What is Archimedes Principle
The principle that states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces
- Buoyant force equals the weight of water that is displaced
- Buoyant force equals the weight of water that is displaced
- If buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object, then the object will
Float within the fluid
27.if buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, then the object will be
Buoyed up
- If buoyant force is less than the weights of the object, the the object will
Sink
