Questions and Answers

What is the primary effect of the upthrust force acting on an object in water?

  • It decreases the buoyancy of the object.
  • It causes water to be displaced. (correct)
  • It increases the density of the object.
  • It converts kinetic energy into potential energy.
  • Under what condition will an object float in water?

  • If it is submerged completely without any air inside.
  • If its mass is less than or equal to the mass of water displaced. (correct)
  • If it is made of a material denser than water.
  • If its volume is greater than the volume of water displaced.
  • What unit is used to measure the strength of electricity?

  • Amperes (A)
  • Volts (V) (correct)
  • Ohms (Ω)
  • Watts (W)

    Upthrust Force

    The upward force exerted by fluid that displaces an object.

    Displaced Water

    Water that is pushed out of the way by an object submerged in it.

    Floatation Condition

    An object floats if its mass is less than or equal to the displaced water's mass.

    Voltage

    The strength of electricity measured in volts (V) needed for a component to operate.

    Study Notes

    Upthrust and Floating

    • Upthrust is a force that causes water to be displaced or pushed out of the way.
    • If the mass of an object is less than or equal to the mass of the water displaced by the upthrust, the object will float.

    Electrical Strength

    • The strength of electricity is measured in units called volts (V).
    • The strength of electricity that a component needs to work is called the voltage.
