Question 6

Noah drops a rock with a density of 1.73 g/cm3 into a pond. Will the rock float or sink? Explain your answer.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The rock will sink because its density (1.73 g/cm³) is greater than the density of water (1.0 g/cm³).

Question 7

Describe all of the forces acting on the ice cream in the root beer float. Relate these forces to the fact that the ice cream is floating.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

There are two primary forces acting on the ice cream: gravity and buoyancy. The force of gravity pulls the ice cream downward toward the center of the Earth. The buoyant force, exerted by the root beer, pushes the ice cream upward. Because the ice cream is floating and not sinking or rising further, these two forces are balanced (equal in magnitude and opposite in direction), resulting in a net force of zero. This occurs because the ice cream is less dense than the root beer.
