The principle which states that an immersed body is buoyed by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces is:

Archimedes' principle

A coin and a feather dropped in a vacuum will have the same momentum.

False

A machine with a power output of 500W, for every input of 1000W, is said to have an efficiency of 25%.

False

Any completely immersed body displaces a quantity of fluid equal to its own weight.

False

Barometer is any device that measures the density of materials.

False

Escape speed from a planet decreases with increase in the mass of the planet.

False

Every 8000m, the surface of the Earth drops an approximate vertical distance of 20m.

False

Ice tends to form at the bottom of bodies of water.

False

Kinetic energy is energy of an object because of its location.

False

Kinetic energy is the stored energy that a body possesses because of its position.

False

The critical speed at which a projectile outruns gravity is called terminal speed.

False

The horizontal speed of a projectile is influenced by gravity.

False

The pressure in liquid decreases with depth.

False

Work is the product of force and the distance through which the force moves.

False

Work is the product of force and time

If the mass of an object were to double while its volume remains the same, its density would:

double

The critical speed at which a projectile outruns gravity is called:

escape speed

A car that travels twice as fast as another, when breaking to a stop will skid:

four times as far

A heavy truck and a small car rolling down a hill at the same speed are forced to stop in the same amount of time. Compared to the force that stops the car, the force needed to stop the truck is

greater

less than the density of water

According to Newton, the greater the distance between masses of interacting objects, the:

less the gravitational force between them

An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its:

location

When you are on the way of a fast moving object and can't get out of its way, you will suffer a smaller force of impact if you decrease its momentum over a:

long time

Force per unit area is called:

pressure

Any object that moves through the air or through space under the influence of gravity is called:
