AP Physics 1: Unit 8 FRQ 4: AP CLASSROOM PROGRESS CHECK FRQ's

Title: 🧊 AP Physics 1: Buoyancy, Forces, and Density — Cube Tank Challenge! 🌊⚖️ Description: Which cube feels the greatest force at the bottom of a tank? In this Unit 8 FRQ 4 challenge, we dive into fluid forces and density relationships to uncover how buoyancy and weight compete under the surface! Three cubes with the same volume but different densities are submerged, and we must figure out which one experiences the largest normal force from the tank bottom. We’ll explore: 🌊 How buoyant force depends on volume, not mass ⚖️ Using Newton’s second law to balance forces underwater 🧮 Deriving an expression for the normal force in terms of densities 🔍 Comparing densities to understand force magnitudes This challenge is a great test of fluid dynamics concepts, force balancing, and understanding how properties like mass and volume affect motion and support in fluids! 🔔 Like & Subscribe for more AP Physics 1 walkthroughs and fluid mechanics breakdowns!
