Students in a physics classroom conduct the following activity
materials a glass, water, coins, food coloring
procedures
1. fill a glass with water until the water is level with the rim
2. add a little food coloring so the water is easier to see.
3. from a distance of about 2cm, slowly drop pennies edgewise into the glass. see how high the water rises without it spilling over
f
which property of water are the students testing?

Respuesta :

The property of water that the students are testing is the density of water.

What is upthrust?

Upthrust or Buoyancy force, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.

F = ρVg

where;

  • ρ is density of the fluid
  • V is volume of the object displaced
  • g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, the property of water that the students are testing is density of water because it opposes the weight of the pennies dropped into it.
