- Cdepends on density of sea water
- Dless than 10 N
12When a boat sails from fresh water to salt water, the boat will float
- Aat the same water level.
- Blower in the water.
- Chigher in the water.

- A3 N.
- B5 N.
- C2 N.
- D4 N.

- Bgreater than the density of water.
- Csmaller than the density of water.
- Dcan not be determined since there is not enough information.
- Enone of the above
16Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats, which means its density is
- Aequal to the density of water.
- Bless than the density of water.
- Cmore than the density of water.
- Dneed more information.
17A fish normally displaces its own
- Aweight of water.
- Bvolume of water.
- Cboth of these
- Dneither of these
18Lobsters live on the bottom of the ocean, which means their density is
- Aequal to the density of sea water.
- Bless than the density of sea water.
- Cgreater than the density of sea water.
19The density of a submerged submarine at rest (in the middle of water not all the way down to the bottom of the ocean) is about the same as the density of
- Airon.
- Ba floating submarine.
- Cwater.
- Dnone of the above
20An egg rests at the bottom of a bowl filled with water. When salt is slowly added to the water the egg rises and floats, from which we conclude
- Asalt water is denser than an egg.
- Bsalt water is denser than fresh water.
- Cboth of these
- Dneither of these

- Aequal to your weight.
- Bless than your weight.
- Cgreater than your weight.
22A person floats higher in the dense water of the Dead Sea because
- Aof a greater buoyant force.
- Bless volume of water is displaced.
- Cmore volume of water is displaced.
23When an ice cube in a glass of water melts, the water level
- Aremains the same.
