Does water get displaced by waves or does it stay in the same place?
displaced
How do use the word displaced in a sentence?
The water was displaced by the speedboat.Things are very easy to be displaced.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Mass will determine how much water is displaced by something that floats. Volume will determine how much water is displaced by something that does not (that sinks).
Why are there changes in humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity increases when more water evaporates, and decreases when it rains or the humid air is displaced by less humid air. Generally, higher temperatures will lead to higher humidity, as more water will evaporate.
Describe how air move during convection?
Convection is the movement of heat through air or water. Cool, dense air falls through warmer, less dense air. Warm air is displaced by cooler, denser air.
What is the relationship between buoyant force and the volume of water displaced?
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced.
Why does hot water occasionally spurt put of hot quarter turn mixer tap?
This is venting and purging built up air in the unit. If the air stayed in the unit and displaced the water, the elements would burn out.
What is a force helps a ship float?
Buoyant force = Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water For the ship to float, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the ship. Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water = m * g Density of the water * Volume of displaced water = m When you multiply the density of water by the volume of displaced water, you get the mass of the ship.
Buoyant force of a rock submerged in water compared to the weight of the water displaced by the rock?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.
What is the upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object?
the weight water displaced (volume of the object times 62.4 for fresh water) minus the weight of the object in air
How much will a body of weight 35N weigh in water if it displaces 1 liter of water?
Weight of body in air = 35N Buoyant force = Weight of liquid displaced Volume of water displaced = 1l Density of water = 1000kg/m3 In this case, Volume = 1000ml Density = 1000kg/m3 Mass = 1000kg/1000ml = 1kg Mass = Volume Weight of water displaced = 1 x 9.81 = 9.81N Therefore, weight of body in water = 35 - 9.81 = 25.19N
What is the weight resistance of a gallon jug filled with air under water?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Principle). A gallon jug underwater will have a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced water: eight pounds. The total weight will also include the normal downward weight of the jug itself and the air it contains.
