Archimedes' Principle
#1 Archimedes' Principle is also known as what? The Law of Bouyancy
#2 What is the unit for force? (like buoyant force) Newtons
#3 According to Archimedes' Principle, how are buoyant force and the weight of displaced fluid related? They are equal!
#4 Why does shape help determine if something will float? Broader shape = more buoyant force, so the object can float
#5 Buoyant force and the weight of displaced fluid are both equal to what? The apparent change in weight of the object!
Properties of Solids
#1 What is hardness? resistance to scratching
#2 What is elasticity? an object's ability to stretch then go back to its original shape
#3 What is tensile strength? measure of how much stress a material can withstand before breaking.
#4 List all six properties of solids we discussed in class! malleability, tensile strength, hardness, brittleness, elasticity, and density
#5 If something has very LOW elasticity, it probably is exhibits what other property? Brittleness, the tendency to shatter before stretching
Properties of Fluids
#1 Do fluids have density? YES!
#2 Which are fluids: solids, liquids, and/or gases gases AND liquids
#3 What is buoyant force? The upward pushing force of a fluid on something that is floating in it.
#4 Define fluids matter with molecules that can flow over eachother
#5 Are density and viscosity different? If so, how? Yes! They are different! Viscosity is resistance to flow, and density is the amount of matter in a given volume.
Density, Mass and Volume
#1 Units for mass grams
#2 Units for volume mL or cm3
#3 Units for Density g/mL OR g/cm3
#4 Equation for density D = m/v
#5 Solve: what is the volume of something that is 20g and 10g/mL? V = m/d = (20g) / (10g/mL) = 2mL
Miscellaneous
#1
#2
#3
#4 How and why do solids differ? They have different properties, including density, brittleness, hardness, elasticity, malleability, and tensile strength
#5 How and why do things float? They either have a LOWER density than the fluid they are floating in, or their shape gives them enough buoyant force pushing up.
