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.
where FB is the buoyant force, Ïf is the density of the displaced fluid, Vf is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s2. It's very important to remember that the density and volume in this equation refer to the displaced fluid, NOT the object submerged in it.
