Answer:

True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy

Explanation:

Buoyancy explains it all!!

Buoyancy  is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.

According to the principle of flotation:

<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>

The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in

What is impulse? How does this relate to momentum?
lawyer [7]
Impulse is a force acting briefly on a body and producing a finite change of momentum.
This relates to momentum because impulse is a change in momentum. Impulse = momentum. Since force is a vector quantity, impulse is also a vector in the same direction. Impulse applied to an object produces equivalent vector change in its linear momentum, also in the same direction. m•(triangle)v
