Exploring Buoyancy Lab (Part II, What does buoyancy depend on?

D. Goldsworthy

Name__________________________________________________________ Date__________________________ Period_______ 1. Design and carry out an experiment to determine if the buoyant force depends on volume. Explain your procedure and findings. Another studentwho is NOT taking physicsshould be able to reproduce your experiment from your instructions below. FINDINGS: The buoyant force that a submerged object experiences DOES / DOES NOT (circle one) depend on the volume of the object. PROCEDURE Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

How to interpret the results:

2.

Design and carry out an experiment to determine if the buoyant force depends on weight. Explain your procedure and findings as we did in number 1 above.

NOTE: You can write an abridged procedure for the following two. (Do them on the back side of this sheet of paper.)

3. 4.

Design and carry out an experiment to determine if the buoyant force depends on the depth at which an object is submerged. Explain your procedure and findings. Design and carry out an experiment to determine if the buoyant force depends on the surface area of the object submerged. Explain your procedure and findings.
