Density

The amount of matter per unit volume

Buoyant Force

an upward force created by the fluid that is displaced by an object

measured in grams per milliliter (g/ml)

density

weight

depends on the gravity of the planet you are on

cm

symbol for centimeter

g

symbol for gram

mL

symbol for milliliter

mass

the amount of matter (the stuff) in an object

volume

the amount of space an object occupies or takes up

weight

the greater the mass of the object is, the more it weighs

Archimedes' Principle

the physical law that states that an object is pushed upward by a force equal to the weight of fluid it displaces

m

the symbol for mass

V

the symbol for volume

Volume = width*length*height
