Solve problems to identify methods to make water more dense

Malay English

•Identify the variables that affect whether an object sinks or floats in a liquid.

•Predict whether an object will sink or float when placed in a liquid.

•Describe the forces that act on a completely or partially submerged object.

•Predict the apparent weight of a completely or partially submerged object of known mass and volume.

•Relate the buoyant force on an object to the weight of the liquid it displaces (Archimedes’ Principle).

•Describe how the buoyant force is related to an object's relative density to the fluid.

•Compare the buoyancy of objects with different shapes and the same volume.

•Explain how to control that an object floats, sinks, or stays at depth without sinking to the bottom.

•Understand the basic principle of a submarine.

•Calculate the weight that a boat can carry without sinking.
