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
