Displacement happens when any object enters water. Two forces act on an object when it enters water: a downward force called gravity and an upward force called buoyancy. An object’s weight measures the downward force of gravity that acts on it.
The Video used in this lesson demonstrates and explains the characteristics of objects that sink and float. It presents the concepts of displacement, weight, and buoyancy.
27 paź 2016 · Resource: This “Bill Nye the Science Guy” episode delves deeper and illustrates water displacement. Why aren’t all boat hulls the same? The shape of the hull of a boat influences how much water it displaces, how stable it is, how fast it will go and other characteristics.
Find out what buoyancy is and why things sink or float with a Bitesize 2nd level Science Explainer.
The answer is in displacement. An object that displaces its own weight in water will float, regardless of how heavy it is. That's why multi-ton battleships don't sink: as...
