    What is weight?

    Varies with location due to gravity.

    What defines mass?

    Constant regardless of location.

    What is volume?

    Space occupied by an object.

    What is density?

    Mass per unit volume of a substance.

    What is buoyancy?

    Upward force from a fluid on a submerged object.

    How is volume measured for irregular objects?

    Using water displacement method.

    What is a specific property?

    Unique characteristic of a substance.

    What is the function of a swim bladder?

    Controls buoyancy in fish by adjusting oxygen.

    What is ballast in submarines?

    Controls depth by filling with air or water.

    What happens with positive buoyancy?

    Object floats when less dense than fluid.

    What is neutral buoyancy?

    Object remains suspended in fluid.

    What occurs with negative buoyancy?

    Object sinks when denser than fluid.

    How do solids, liquids, and gases differ in density?

    Solids are densest, gases are least dense.

    What is the significance of water's density at 4°C?

    Maximum density allows ice to float.

    What happens to water when it freezes?

    Particles move apart, increasing volume.

    What are load lines on boats?

    Indicate flotation level based on water type.

    How does saltwater density compare to freshwater?

    Saltwater is denser than freshwater.
