Fill in the blank...
The amount of volume an object displaces in water is _____(less than/equal to/grater than) the volume of the object.
please help cazz im going to have a test tommorrow about this ;)
the volume is the volume. Equal.
thank u..
The amount of volume an object displaces in water is equal to the volume of the object. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that when an object is submerged in a fluid, it will displace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume.
To understand why this is the case, we can consider the buoyant force acting on the object. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid and is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. When an object is fully submerged, it displaces an amount of water equal to its own volume. This displaced water exerts an upward force that opposes the force of gravity acting on the object, resulting in the object feeling lighter or buoyant in water.
So, when the object is completely submerged in water, the volume of water it displaces is equal to its own volume. Therefore, the correct answer is "equal to."
