Exploriments: Fluids - Archimedes Principle, Buoyancy and Flotation
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
The Exploriments Series of interactive simulation-based tools makes conceptual learning in science an engaging and insightful experience. Visit www.exploriments.com to know more.
Activities:
Volume Displacement
--- Verify that a solid body displaces a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the immersed part of the body
--- Try out a variety of scenarios with Cubes and Spheres of varying sizes and densities and liquids of different densities
Buoyant Force
--- Explore the concept of a buoyant force and how it is exerted by a liquid on a solid body being immersed in it
--- Try out a variety of scenarios with Cubes and Spheres of varying sizes and densities and liquids of different densities
Verifying Archimedes Principle
--- Interactively verify the basis of Archimedes Principle
--- Try out a variety of scenarios with Cubes and Spheres of varying sizes and densities and liquids of different densities
Flotation and Buoyancy
--- Explore characteristics of floating bodies and attributes that determine whether a solid will float in the given liquid or not
--- Try out with solid and hollow objects of varying sizes and densities and liquids of different densities
Additional Features:
--- A set of cubes and sphere with ability to change the size
--- Hollow cubes and spheres with a selection of wall thickness
--- Solids of different materials (densities) and also a solid with customizable density to try out
--- Ability to change the density of the liquid for exploring unusual scenarios
--- Ability to explore a range of scenarios on floating and sinking, with various combinations of solids and liquids
