This physics experiment consists of two physics simulations that will help in understanding density and its relation to buoyance. states of mattel and temperature. Density, the ratio of mass to volume (mass density] orweight to volume {weight density], is an important property for many reasons, including buoyancy. which is explored in this physics simulation. After completing the activities, write and submit your Module 5 Experiment Report. Please read through all sections before proceeding to the next page. and refer back whenever necessary. Physics Simulation 1 1. In the physics simulation, select Intro on the opening screen of the simulation and take several minutes to play around with the simulation, trying out the controls and seeing what effect they have. For example. change the mass and volume of the object and change the composition of the object. Select the two-block icon to add a second block and try changing its mass and volume too. 2. After you feel comfortable operating the simulation controls, select Compare to open a new simulation screen. Note that you can select blocks to have the same mass. same volume, or same density. By default, blocks start with the same mass. 3. Try to predict which of the two blocks on the left will be more likely to sink or oat lower than the other. Drag both blocks into the water to test your prediction. Repeat for the two blocks on the right. If both blocks of a pair sink. adjust the mass control until at least one blocks oats. Explain any discrepancies between your predictions and the results. 4. Now select in the upper right that blocks have the same volume. Repeat your predictions for the two-block pairs. Explain any discrepancies between your predictions and the results. 5. When objects had the same mass, relative volume was sufcient to predict relative tendency to sink or oat. When obiects had the same volume, relative mass was sufcient to predict relative tendency to sink or oat. Now select in the upper right that blocks have the same density and predict relative tendency to sink or oat and test your prediction. Change the block density and see if that changes the results. 6. Reecting on your results. which single property (mass, volume, or density) of the blocks determined relative tendency to sink or oat IN ALL THREE CASES [i.e., same mass, same volume. same density)? What cases were not explored in this simulation? Do you predict that the same conclusion about the single property that determines sinking or oating would hold for the unexplored casels}?

Physics Simulation 1 Physics Simulation 2 Selecting the States option in the physics simulation, explore how density generally changes as the state of matter changes between solid, liquid, and gas. However, for which material do you find that its solid is less dense than its liquid? Discuss an application of this interesting phenomenon in the Applications section of your Experiment Report on the next module page
