The upward buoyant force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid.
Who discovered the Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes
What is the formula to calculate the buoyant force?
Buoyant Force = Weight of fluid displaced
State whether the following statement is true or false: According to Archimedes' principle, a completely submerged object may experience buoyant force greater than its weight.
True
What is the unit of the buoyant force?
Newton
What happens to the buoyant force when an object is partially submerged in a fluid?
The buoyant force is less than when the object is completely submerged.
What is the relation between the density of the object and the density of the fluid for an object to float?
The density of the object should be less than the density of the fluid.
Fill in the blank: The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the ___________ displaced by the object.
fluid
What is the principle that explains why ships float on water?
Archimedes' principle
State whether the following statement is true or false: The magnitude of the buoyant force does not depend on the depth of the object in the fluid.
True
State whether the following statement is true or false: The magnitude of the buoyant force acting on an object only depends on the volume of the object submerged in the fluid.
True
What is the direction of the buoyant force?
Upward
What factors affect the buoyant force?
Volume of the fluid displaced and the density of the fluid
What is the scientific term for the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid?
Drag
What happens to the buoyant force when an object is fully submerged in a fluid?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object.
