Ripple Effect
Today we learned about waves and we did a wave lab using slinkies and what not. We also checked our data and what have you.
The amount of a solvent does not change the density of it or the buoyancy of other objects. For example, if you dropped a beach ball in the ocean and in a sink it would still float because the amount of whatever does not affect it. We know density is only affected by mass and by volume because the formula for density is D = m/V. Thus in turn buoyancy is not affected by the amount of a solvent because buoyancy depends on density. Plus, I have tested this before and as an example when I leave a plastic bowl in a slightly filled sink it floats and when the sink is a bit fuller it still floats. I feel like the amount should affect it though because it is really annoying having all those bowls float around in your sink and the whole purpose of me filling the sink is usually so that the bowls soak all together. Instead I have to manually fill each bowl and what have you. Adding on, usually people add more solvent to make things sink but things like ice and what not unfortunately still float. I guess it would just be more practical some how. And while quantity can be a part of density everything is proportional to volume so it just remains the same. It is like having a 10 kg tub of water take up 2 m or whatever be the same as a 20 kg tub of water take up 4 m of space because in the end the density is still 5 and the buoyancy of the object remains the same.
Bye guys :33~
Good job! 3/3
