FOAM WOOD METAL Suppose you had three equally sized cubes of the following materials. Which one would be the heaviest?
2
The metal cube is heavier just as a brick is heavier than a sponge of the same size! They take up the same amount of space (volume) but the brick has more mass (heaviness of an object*)!

Density (ρ) is a measure of how compact the atoms or molecules in a substance are. It is a ratio of an object’s mass (m) to its volume (v). SAMPLE PROBLEM If I have a wooden block that has a mass of 20g and a volume of 26cm 3, what is its density? 6 ρ = m/v density (g/cm 3 ) or (kg/m 3 ) mass (g) or (kg) Volume (cm 3 ) or (m 3 ) ρ = m/v density (g/cm 3 ) or (kg/m 3 ) mass (g) or (kg) Volume (cm 3 ) or (m 3 )

DENSITY KEY CONCEPT Density does NOT depend on the amount of the substance you have. Regardless of whether you have a small piece of gold or a giant truck full of it, the density of that gold will be 19.3g/cm 3. Likewise, a drop of water has the same density as a swimming pool full of water (1g/cm 3 ). DENSITY KEY CONCEPT Density does NOT depend on the amount of the substance you have.

Volume or Water Displacement Water is generally incompressible. An object will displace a volume of water equal to the volume of the object itself when submerged. Both cm 3 and ml measure volume or the amount of space an object takes up. 1ml is = 1cm 3 Water displacement is useful for determining the volume of irregularly shaped objects.

A 28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.50 mL of water. The water level rises to the 49.10 mL mark, from this information, calculate the density of iron. An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume of water equal to 12 ml. The height of the water rose to 17 ml. If the mass of the stone was 25 g, what was its density?

If the mass of the stone was 25 g, what was its density? -------- 45.50ml -------- 49.10ml 49..1-ml – 45.5ml = 3.6ml ml and cm 3 are interchangeable. So mass = 28.5g and volume = 3.6cm 3 p =m/v 28.5g / 3.6cm 3 = 7.9g/cm 3

What if an object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder? 1)You might consider using a beaker instead but in general a graduated cylinder is far more accurate at measuring volume than a beaker. 2)So we can use something called an overflow can.
37
Overflow Can. 1)Fill the can above the drain line with water. 2)Let the excess drip out until the water is level with the drain. 3)Now any object placed in it will cause the water to overflow through the drain.

Key Points Water displacement is used to determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects. Milliliters (ml) and centimeters cubed (cm 3 ) are interchangeable. 1ml = 1cm 3 For H 2 O 1g = 1ml = 1cm 3

Density and Flotation Task: Given 3 eggs, salt, water, and 3 beakers, make it so that one egg sinks, one egg floats and one egg stays suspended in the middle of the water. Objects sink or float based upon density. If an object is less dense that water (p < 1g/cm 3 ) it will float. If an object is more dense than water (p < 1g/cm 3 ) it will sink.

Shape and density determine if something will float.

55 Buoyant Force: When an object displaces water the water pushes back on it. What happens to the weight of an object when placed in water?
56
Intro to Forces: PHET Sim Force: a push or a pull (unit: Newtons) If Forces are balanced an object will not move or change its motion! Unbalanced forces lead to changes in motion. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/forces-and-motion-basics
57
Buoyant Force (upward push of water) Weight Force (heaviness of object) 1.If Weight is greater than Buoyant Force an object sinks. 2.If Buoyant Force is greater than weight the object rises and then floats. 3.When Buoyant Force equals weight the object floats or suspends.
58
Which is greater: the Weight or Buoyant Force? 58
59
Floating: Buoyant Force = Weight F = 100N If a 100N boat is floating the water must be pushing on it with a force of 100N If we add weight (50N) to the boat it will sink down deeper and the buoyant force will increase. F = 150N
60
Buoyant Force (upward push of water) Weight Force (heaviness of object) Archimedes Principle: Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The more water an object displaces the more buoyant force pushing on it. This is why a block of aluminum sinks but an aluminum foil boat floats. Shape is important!
61
If you were to hold a basketball under water it will push back very hard and would fly upwards if your were to release it. Buoyant Force > Weight
62
If you were to hold a basketball under water it will push back very hard and would fly upwards if your were to release it. Buoyant Force > Weight When floating the buoyant force on ball equals its weight.
63
Why is it easier to lift a person in water? 50N Weight (force) Lift (force)
64
Why is it easier to lift a person in water? 50N Weight (force) Lift (force) Weight (force) Lift (force) Buoyant (force) The water helps you!
65
Concrete Boats Heavy iron ships can float because they are shaped to displace a large amount of water and being hollow and filled with air reduces their overall density. Its easier to pick someone up in water because the water helps you (buoyant force).
