Knowledge Check: Part B
Find a picture from a media source (movies, TV, comics, video games, etc.) that contains an object floating in a body of water (tub, pool, lake, ocean, etc.). Place the picture in the following diagram template and cite the image using APA format:
Keynote: Week2DiagramTemplate.key
PowerPoint: Week2DiagramTemplate.pptx
If you need help learning how to manipulate the template in Keynote checkout this Lynda.com video series . For a different version of Keynote, power point or other software, just search in lynda.com for other great courses.
If you are unable to open either of the diagram templates for any reason, please use the image below as a guideline in creating your own diagram in another presentation-based software program.
Answer the following questions based on the picture chosen and what you have learned this week.
What is the definition of the buoyant force?
What is the buoyant force always equal to?
The weight of the object.
The weight of the displaced fluid.
The depth of the object.
The depth of the body of water.
21
If the object was hit by a shrink ray, making it much smaller but keeping the same mass, how would the buoyant force change?
It would increase.
It would decrease.
It would stay the same.
Not enough information.
22
Open your diagram template and do the following:
Add a blue arrow next to the floating object in your diagram to represent the buoyant force on that object. Be sure that it is pointing in the correct direction.
Done!
Do not choose this option.
23
If any object were forced to move deeper under the surface of the water, what would happen to the pressure?
It would increase.
It would decrease.
It would stay the same.
No way to tell.
24
What is the difference between mass and density? Don't just write out equations or copy definitions, use your own words to explain the ideas. (e.g. Don't just say mass per unit volume)
25
Open your diagram template and do the following:
1. Move and resize the red circle so that it is around an object in your diagram that has a higher density than water and label it in the key. (If one is not visible in the image, name something in the key that might be nearby that would have a higher density.)
2. Move and resize the green circle so that it is around an object in your diagram that has a lower density than water and label it in the key.
3. Your floating object is applying a pressure on the water, just like the water applies a pressure on the object. Place a purple arrow near your floating object that represents the force of the bottom of that object on the water. Be sure to make sure it points in the correct direction and has the correct size in relation to the buoyant force (blue arrow).
4. By moving and resizing the red rectangle, highlight the area over which the force of the object is applied to the water.
5. Save your diagram as a PDF and upload the completed file below.
26
What is the definition of specific heat?
27
Find two different substances (or materials) in your diagram (for example: water and wood or plastic and aluminum, etc.)
Name the 2 materials below. Notice that you must select two different materials not two different objects.
Label one of the two materials as having a higher specific heat, and the other as a lower specific heat. You will not be counted off if you incorrectly label the specific heats.
Based only on the definition of specific heat from question 26 and the specific heats you just labeled, if the same amount of heat is added to both materials, which would rise to the higher temperature or would they be the same?
