The principle of floatation states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of liquid equal to its ___ weight. | Card: 1 / 20 |
True or False: An object will float if its density is greater than the liquid's density. | Card: 3 / 20 |

Fill in the blanks: For an object to float, its average density must be ___ than the fluid's average density. | Card: 11 / 20 |
True or False: The upthrust exerted by a liquid is independent of the object's submerged volume. | Card: 13 / 20 |
What role does the design of ships play in their ability to float despite being made of dense materials? | Card: 15 / 20 |
Ships are designed to be hollow, which reduces their average density and allows them to displace a large amount of water, enabling them to float. | Card: 16 / 20 |
Fill in the blank: The laws of floatation indicate that an object will float if its density is ___ or equal to that of the liquid. | Card: 17 / 20 |
Archimedes' Principle aids floatation.
