None of these. Explanation: Buoyant force is more because more water is being displaced. More buoyant force is acting on a heavier submarine. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conceptual Physical Science 5 e – Chapter 5 When you float in salt water rather than in fresh water, the volume of water displaced is A. B. C. D. less. more. unchanged. None of these. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conceptual Physical Science 5 e – Chapter 5 When you float in salt water rather than in fresh water, the volume of water displaced is A. B. C. D. less. more. unchanged. None of these. Comment: The smaller volume of denser water nevertheless gives a buoyant force equal to your weight. People can float slightly higher in salt water because they don’t have to displace as great a volume of water to equal their weight.

If you gently push it about a meter beneath the surface, after removing your hand the balloon will A. B. C. D. come back to the surface. sink. stay at the level you push it to. no longer be buoyant. Explanation: Water pressure reduces balloon volume, increases density, so the balloon sinks. (This question is a “curve buster. ”) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conceptual Physical Science 5 e – Chapter 5 As a weighted air-filled balloon sinks in water, the buoyant force on the balloon A. B. C. D. becomes less. remains the same. increases. no longer acts at sufficient depth. Explanation: As the balloon sinks deeper, it’s squeezed by greater water pressure and its volume further decreases. Smaller volume displaces less water, so buoyant force decreases. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conceptual Physical Science 5 e – Chapter 5 A boat filled with scrap iron floats in a swimming pool. If the scrap iron is thrown overboard into the pool, the water level at the side of the pool will A. B. C. D. fall. remain unchanged. rise. Actually, all of these! © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conceptual Physical Science 5 e – Chapter 5 A boat filled with scrap iron floats in a swimming pool. If the scrap iron is thrown overboard into the pool, the water level at the side of the pool will A. B. C. D. fall. remain unchanged. rise. Actually, all of these! Explanation: When the scrap iron is made to float (by being in the boat) it displaces its weight, which is considerable. But when submerged, it displaces only its volume, which displaces much less water than when the iron was made to float. So the water level falls! © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Yes, but only when there’s relative motion with the air. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
