Two solid spheres of identical physical volume—one made of solid lead and the other made of solid aluminum—are both completely submerged under water. How do the buoyant forces acting on them compare?

1 pts

volume_mute

The buoyant forces are exactly identical.

The buoyant force on the lead sphere is greater because it weighs more.

The buoyant force on the aluminum sphere is greater because it is less dense.

The buoyant force depends on the depth at which they are held.

Correct Answer

Explanation

If a fixed mass of gas is compressed into a container that is exactly one-fourth of its initial volume, what happens to the density of the gas?

1 pts

volume_mute

The density becomes four times greater.

The density drops to one-fourth of its initial value.

The density remains unchanged because mass is conserved.

The density decreases exponentially as molecules collapse.
