6 Questions
What factor primarily determines whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
The density of the object
What does the law of floatation state?
Objects float in water due to the buoyant force equaling their weight
How does the volume of an object affect its ability to float?
Objects with larger volume will usually float
What happens to the buoyant force when an object is fully submerged in a fluid?
It increases
How does the density of an object affect its ability to float?
Higher density makes it more likely to sink
What effect does increasing the volume of an object have on its ability to float?
It increases the likelihood of floating
Test your knowledge of the law of floatation with questions about factors determining whether an object will float or sink in a fluid, and the relationship between the volume of an object and its ability to float.
