  1. Chapter 11, Sect. 2 “Floating and Sinking” • What is the effect of the buoyant force? • What is Archimedes Principle? • The buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes an object feel lighter. • The buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.

  2. Chapter 11, Sect. 2 “Floating and Sinking” • What is the formula for calculating density? • How can you use density to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid? • Density=mass/volume • By comparing their densities to one another.
