AP Physics 2 › Buoyant Force
Seawater density:
A baseball has a mass of and a circumference of
. Determine what percentage of a baseball will be submerged when it is floating in seawater after a home run?
What is the net force on a ball of mass and volume of
when it is submerged under water?
A balloon of mass is inflated to a volume of
with pure
. Determine the buoyant force it will experience when submerged in water.
A semi-hollow, spherical ball with an empty volume of is submerged in water and has an initial mass of
. The ball develops a leak and water begins entering the ball at a rate of
. How long does it take before the buoyant force on the ball is equal to the gravitational force?
A block of mass is sinking in water at a constant velocity. There is a constant drag force of
acting on the block. What is the volume of the block?
A block with a volume of sinks to the bottom of a water tank. What is the buoyant force on the block?
Determine the net force on a copper ball of radius
submerged into water.
Hanging from a scale is a sphere that is totally submerged in a pool of water. If the reading on the scale is
, calculate the radius of the sphere.
Which of the following statements best describes the buoyant force on an object submerged in water?
A scuba diver with a total mass is dressed so his density
and is holding a spherical ball with a volume
while submerged in water. What is the density of the ball if the upward acceleration of the ball and diver is
?
