13. Buoyancy Since pressure depends on depth, a submerged object has more force due to pressure below it than above it. Net effect is to have a net upward force, which we call buoyancy. Buoyancy Weight If weight exceeds buoyancy force then object sinks, otherwise it floats. Pressure

17. Only in the special case of floating does the buoyant force acting on an object equal the object’s weight. A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. Ice cubes in water?

34. Atmosphere The thickness is determined by kinetic energy From sun) -tends to spread the molecules apart; tend to fly away: if disappeared- molecules moved too slowly our “atmosphere” would be a liquid or solid layer gravity, which tends to hold molecules near the Earth. shut off= dissipate and disappear. height of the atmosphere gets thinner and thins out to emptiness in interplanetary space.

35. Atmosphere We live at the bottom of an ocean of fluid—the fluid is air & “ocean” is the atmosphere.

43. Boyle’s Law Density of a gas increases as it is compressed (volume decreased) As the density of a gas increases, the pressure in the gas also increases. P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 Compress the gas by pushing in the syringe. Dial gauge shows increase in pressure. Syringe Gauge Tank

44. Boyle’s Law A flat tire registers zero pressure on the gauge, but a pressure of about one atmosphere exists there. Gauges read “gauge” pressure— pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.
