Title: Buoyancy
Questions Notes (Answers)
II. Buoyancy is the force of a liquid pushing up on an
object.
A. Buoyant force balances the force of gravity when an
object floats.
Question 2:
What are buoyant
forces?
Buoyant Force of water pushes up.
Force of Gravity pushes down.
B. Weight is the pull of gravity on an object.

Question 3:
What determines the
strength (magnitude)
of buoyant force?
III. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid an
object displaces (pushes out of the way).
A. The weight of the displaced liquid is the same as the
weight of the object under the liquid.
B. The part of the object above the liquid DOES NOT
MATTER.

Cornell Notes
Title: Buoyancy
Questions Notes (Answers)
C. When an object is flat buoyancy is greater because it
displaces more liquid. Buoyant force pushes up
against a larger surface area.
Buoyant Forces of liquid push up.
