Across
- 3. The effect of buoyant force when an object floats, sinks, or hovers in a fluid.
- 6. The mass per unit of volume for a substance.
- 7. in the fluid To remain suspended in the fluid without rising to the surface or sinking.
- 8. To stay on the surface of a fluid without sinking.
- 9. To go down or submerge in a fluid because it is denser than the fluid.
- 11. The 3D space that is occupied by an object.
- 12. The upward force exerted by a fluid on an object placed in it, which makes the object float or appear lighter.
- 13. A state of matter in which the molecules of a substance are close together but free to move relative to each other. Has a definite volume but no definite shape.
- 17. A compartment in a ship or submarine that can be filled with water or air to control buoyancy and stability.
- 18. Air that is confined in a space and forced to a higher pressure than the surrounding atmosphere.
- 20. Having a higher density than another substance, so it tends to sink in a fluid.
Down
- 1. Having a lower density than another substance, so it tends to float in a fluid.
- 2. The rules that explain how and why objects float, sink, or hover in a fluid, based on the relationship between the object's density and the fluid's density.
- 4. The amount of matter in an object (usually measured in grams).
- 5. A statement about what you think will happen in an experiment or situation based on prior knowledge or evidence.
- 10. An internal gas-filled organ in fish that helps them control buoyancy and maintain their depth in water.
- 14. A material that has its own specific properties and composition, different from other substances.
- 15. A state of matter in which the molecules of a substance are widely separated and can move freely. Has no definite shape or volume.
- 16. A substance that can flow and take the shape of its container, including liquids and gases.
- 19. The upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, opposing the object's weight.
