On the specification

BoardSpecStatement
AQA GCSE 84634.5.5.1.2Pressure in a fluid 2
Edexcel GCSE 1PH015.15PExplain why an object in a fluid is subject to an upwards force (upthrust) and relate this to examples including objects that are fully immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) or partially immersed in a liquid
Edexcel GCSE 1PH015.16PRecall that the upthrust is equal to the weight of fluid displaced
Edexcel GCSE 1PH015.17PExplain how the factors (upthrust, weight, density of fluid) influence whether an object will float or sink
OCR GCSE J249P1.3hDescribe the factors which influence floating and sinking
OCR GCSE J249P1.3iExplain why pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density and how this leads to an upwards force on a partially submerged object
OCR GCSE J249P1.3jCalculate the differences in pressure at different depths in a liquid knowledge that strength of the gravitational field and has a value of 10 N/kg near the Earth’s surface
OCR GCSE J249PM1.3iiApply: pressure due to a column of liquid (Pa) = height of column (m)
For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches upthrust, floating and sinking (triple, Higher).
