D.

Match the items in column I with the correct choices in column II:

1. Weight of an object = Buoyant force - e. Object sinks in a liquid

2. Eureka can - a. Displacement method

3. Weight of an object > Buoyant force - e. Object sinks in a liquid

4. Hydrometer - d. Object stays suspended in a liquid

5. Weight of an object < Buoyant force - b. Object floats in a liquid

E. Short Answer Questions:

1. Temperature, pressure, and impurities can affect density.

2. Yes, each material has a unique density, so measuring it helps identify unknown substances.

3. Iron is 7.87 times denser than water.

4. It means the object is less dense than water and will float.

5. It depends on the object's density relative to the fluid and the buoyant force.

6. A ship displaces more water and experiences more buoyant force; the nail is denser and

displaces less water.

7. It provides a ratio that helps compare how dense one substance is compared to another (usually

water).

8. Ice is less dense than water due to its molecular structure, so it floats.

9. Oil is less dense than water but denser than alcohol.

10. Yes, different materials can have the same density if their mass-to-volume ratios are equal.

F. Long Answer Questions:

1. Measure mass using a beam balance and volume using water displacement in a measuring

cylinder. Density = mass/volume.


2. Density = mass/volume (e.g., 1000 kg/m³ for water). Relative density = density of object/density of

water (no units).

3. Fill can until it overflows, drop stone, collect overflow water to measure volume displaced.

4. Measure mass of empty container, fill with liquid, measure again to find mass of liquid. Measure

volume with measuring cylinder. Use density = mass/volume.

5. Solids have highest density, then liquids, then gases. Water is denser as a liquid than as a solid

(ice floats).

6. An object floats if its weight is equal to or less than the buoyant force from the liquid.

7. Water exerts an upward buoyant force that reduces the effective weight.

8. Helium is lighter than air, so the balloon experiences an upward buoyant force. CO is heavier than

air and falls.
