What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water.
State Archimedes' principle and give an example of how you could determine a buoyant force?
Archimedes stated that any object set in water will experience a force of buoyancy equal to the weight of the water displaced.To determine the buoyancy force of an object, follow the procedure below. You will need:Two containersAn accurate scale1. Find a container as least as wide and as deep as the object in question, and then find a second container that is wide and deep enough to catch spilled water from the first container. For example, use a measuring cup as the small container, and a cake pan for the larger container.2. Weigh the larger container. Write down this measurement - you will need it in step 8.3. Rest the smaller container in the middle of the larger container.4. Fill the smaller container completely and exactly full with water, such that the smaller container cannot hold any more water without spilling over. Be certain not to spill any water into the larger container during this step.5. Gently place the object in question in the smaller container - do not drop it into the water. Allow it to immerse into the water gently so that it does not splash. As you place the object in the smaller container, water will spill over the top of the container, and will be captured by the larger container.6. After the object in question comes to rest in or on top of the water, remove the object, again being careful not to spill or splash any water over the edge of the smaller container while removing the object.7. Remove the smaller container from the larger container.8. Now weigh the larger container with the water in it, and subtract the weight you measured in step 2 from this weight. The difference in weight is the weight of the water alone..The buoyancy force is the weight of the water you calculated in step 8.
Can air push water out of a container?
Yes because if the container has a whole in it the air well make the water squezze out of the whole
In a gaseous state how do particles move?
They move freely and expand to fill it's container. They also move quickly relative to liquids or solids.
Why doesn't water fall out of a container when you spin it 360 degrees?
The force that holds water in the container is called centripetal force. It is not specific to water, it affect anything spun in a circle. The water has inertia, which means it wants to continue in the direction that its moving - if you were to let go, the water would fly forward in its current direction. And not only does your container keep the water from flying off, it also keeps changing the direction the water wants to go. If you spin the container fast enough, centripetal force can beat the force of gravity. Its as if the water is being endlessly thrown into the bottom of the container.
How does a siphon work?
Because of gravity, water and most liquids seek their own level. This means that if left side by side, gravity would not be able to move the water in any direction. But if you were to move one container lower than the other then water could move in the direction of the lower level container through a tube or pipe that was attached to the bottom of the higher container. But if the tube used to move the water had to be raised higher than the upper container, suction would get the water moving in the direction of the lower container and then gravity would take over and the water would continue to move without further suction. A siphon doesn't "defy" gravity to work, but uses gravity to perform the siphoning action.
Why does water move in circles in a container but not in a staight line?
due to the shape of the glass is circular
Where does water go when it reaches the surface?
they move around but they are together not like a gas this is how they get the shape of the container
What is a water container?
A container that holds water.
How does gas behave inside a close container?
They move Freely in the closed container.
How can you measure volume of the rock?
it is easiest to do with small rocks, but can be dome with anything if you can move it and have a container large enough to hold it. place water into a container with measurment markings and place the rock into it. the amount the water level rises, called displacement, is the volume of the rock.
What is the container called that boils water?
The container that you can boil water in is called a beaker.
How is water able to take the shape of the bottom of the container it is stored in?
Water is a liquid, and its molecules move around freely, but still must respond to gravity. The molecules in liquid water do not have the ability to hold a shape by rigidly clinging to each other, so the liquid will take the shape of its container.
If the axis of rotation is near the top of the container will the denser particles tend to move to the top or bottom of the container?
Denser particles would move towards the bottom of the container due to centrifugal force.
What happens to water molecules when they are heated?
Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)
How can a container hold water?
A container is able to hold water because the container's atoms are bonded closer together than each water molecule's total size. This prevents the water molecules from sliding out between the container's atoms, thereby holding the water inside.
How does convection effect boiling water?
Water convection is the movement of water in a circular motion due to cooling and heating. The water near the bottom of the container is heated and moves up the container, while water at the top of the container is cooled and moves down the container. Convection causes movement of the water.
