Practice AP Physics 1 Fluid Statics in the app →Density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit:The SI unit for pressure is the:Density is described as crucial for determining whether an object in a fluid will:Pressure relative to atmospheric pressure is defined as:Absolute pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and:Attractive forces between molecules of the same type are called:Attractive forces between molecules of different types are called:Cohesive forces cause a liquid's surface to contract to the smallest possible:A swimmer floats because the forces underneath are larger. This is due to:Archimedes' principle relates the buoyant force to the weight of:If the buoyant force exceeds an object's weight, the object will:The buoyant force is described as always present whether an object floats, sinks or is:Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of an object's density to the density of:An object with specific gravity less than one placed in water will:A tyre gauge reading 200 kilopascals in an atmosphere of 100 kilopascals means the absolute pressure is:Water beads up on a waxed car but spreads on bare paint because of the balance between:Pressure in a fluid rises with depth, which is why a container's bottom supports:Two objects have equal mass but one has twice the volume. Its density is:
