Three characteristics that are unique to mammals include their  ability to feed their babies with milk made in their mammary  glands. Mammals also have hair on their bodies â¦and they have a  single bone that makes up their lower jaw.
buoyancy. n. 1. the ability to float in a liquid or to rise in a fluid. 2. (General Physics) the property of a fluid to exert an upward force (upthrust) on a body that is wholly or partly submerged in it. 3. the ability to recover quickly after setbacks; resilience.
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ice cubes. This means that the weight that the ice cubes add to the cup is exactly what an amount of water that is equal to that submerged volume of ice cubes would add.
