Question

predicting buoyancy
gravity
the density of the object on the left is 1.5 g/cm³ and
the density of the fluid is 1.0 g/cm³.
which has greater density?
the object will in the water column.
buoyancy

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the densities

The density of the object is $1.5\ \text{g/cm}^3$ and the density of the fluid is $1.0\ \text{g/cm}^3$. Since $1.5 > 1.0$, the object has greater density.

Step2: Determine the buoyancy behavior

When an object's density is greater than the fluid's density, the object will sink because the gravitational force pulling it down is greater than the buoyant force pushing it up.

Answer:

First dropdown: the object
Second dropdown: sink
