Q

Why can ships float?

A

Because they contain a large quantity of air and the average density of everything is lighter than the density of water

Q

If you hear up substance the density changes because?

A

As energy is added the particles move quickly and farther apart, thus increasing the volume. The density increases because mass remains constant but the volume increases

Q

Why do buoyant objects float?

A

They take up space in a fluid, pushing some of it away of displacing it causing them to float, because the fluid pushes back against the force of gravity

Q

What is a plimsoll line?

A

It shows how heavily a ship can be loaded in different weather conditions

17
Q

How do hot air balloons work?

A

As the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air. The buoyant force of the air will push the hot air balloon upwards, until the buoyant force equals the force of gravity.

18
Q

What is the unit used for mass?

A

Grams

19
Q

What is the unit used for volume?

A

cm3

20
Q

What is the unit used for density?

A

g/cm3

21
Q

What is pressure measured in?

A

Pascals

22
Q

What is the formula for pressure?

A

Pressure (P)= force (N)/ area (M2)

23
Q

How does drinking out of a straw work?

A

When we suck on the straw that lessens the pressure on the outside and increases the pressure on the inside

24
Q

What does Pascals law say?

A

An enclosed fluid transmits pressure in all directions equally

25
Q

What is a pneumatic device?

A

It is a pressure system that uses air instead of Water

26
Q

What is a hydraulic device?

A

It is a pressure system that uses water instead of air
