WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT FLOAT?
WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT FLOAT?
Question?: Does the weight of the object make things float/sink?
WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT FLOAT?
Question?: Does the weight of the object make things float/sink?
Hypothesis: I think that the density of the object will make it either
float/sink

Conclusion:Things can float/sink, not only by the weight, but also by
the material.
What else helps things to float?

Density:How tightly the atoms in the object are packed

Density:How tightly the atoms in the object are packed
eg. If an object has low density, it will float

Trapped Air: If you put an empty bottle in water with its lid on, it will float
because of the trapped air

Upthrust: Is a force that pushes things up

Trapped Air: If you put an empty bottle in water with its lid on, it will float

Upthrust: Is a force that pushes things up
eg. When you push a floating object the upthrust force fights back
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
volume make it float?
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
volume make it float?
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
volume make it float?
Yes! because it holds air and upthrust has more space to push the object
Where does the water go?
Where does the water go?
Where does the water go?
The size of the object displaces the water. The water rises the same amount
of space the object took. This is displacement.
