question 1 of 3

What is buoyancy?

The ability or tendency to float in water, air or another fluid. The tendency for things to bounce when pressed against certain surfaces. Bounciness.

How quickly something pops out of the water. The tendency for an object to sink in water, air, or another fluid.

1. What is density?

How tightly packed the mass is in an object, measured in kilograms per meter cubed.
How tightly packed the mass is in an object, measured in kilograms.
How much an object floats, measured in newtons.
The force on a floating object, measured in newtons.

2. How does density relate to buoyancy?

Objects that are denser than water will sink, objects less dense than water will float.
Objects that are denser than water will float, objects less dense than water will sink.
Dense objects have greater buoyancy.
Density determines the buoyant force on an object.
It doesn't -- they are unrelated.
