Density is Mass per unit Volume. If something has a bunch of mass but hardly andy volume, it will be very dense. Bouyancy is the upward force that keeps things afloat. It has to do with the mass of the object and the density of the fluid.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a material. Buoyancy is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The force keeps it floating or at least makes it seem lighter.

Density is basically the mass per unit volume. Buoancy is the force that keeps things afloat. They are pretty intersting terms. We got screwed im the review game today.

Density is mass per unit volume. Buoyancy is the upward force that keeps objects afloat. The denser the object the less buoyancy it has and vise versa.
