The force of gravity acts downward on it, and the force of buoyancy acts
upward on it. Just like any other object immersed in any other fluid.

What happens to objects on earth when they are dropped?
When an object is released on earth (so it is free to fall), there are two forces that take hold. Gravity and Buoyancy. Gravity, of course, is what pulls matter to matter, and pulls us, and everything else towards the ground here on earth. Buoyancy is what makes things float. If the Buoyancy forces is stronger then the force of gravity, then the object will float away, at least until the buoyancy force levels out with the gravity force. Examples of buoyancy overpowering gravity is like a helium balloon floating away, or a boat floating on the water (gravity pulls the boat down, but the buoyancy over the water allows it to float).

What are three working forces on the hot air balloon?
Buoyancy, air resistance and gravity. Hope this helps!! :)
What is the name of all the forces?
I know some of it and they are:- - gravity - compression - tension - friction - torsion - buoyancy - shear
