Buoyancy is the rising of an object through a liquid such as water due to the object being less dense than the liquid. Density is the the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density is often expressed in grams/cm³. For a full explanation of how the buoyancy principle works go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.

∙ 13y agoThe buoyancy theory is known as Archimedes' Principal. It states that the bouyant force of an object depends on the weight of an object an the weight of the water it displaces. Example: You have a balloon filled to a specified volume with air you breathe. If you put the ballon in the water, it will float. But if you fill the balloon with the same volume with water, it might sink. This is because the weight of the balloon filled with air weights less than the same amount of waterthat would fill its volume.

∙ 13y agoIf the water displaced by the object in it weighs more than the object itself, the object will have positive buoyancy and float. If the displaced water weighs less than the object in it, the object becomes negatively buoyant and will sink. If the displaced water and the object weigh the same, neutral buoyancy will be achieved, and no change in depth will occur.

Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.
What law explains the floating of objects on water?
You need to explore the following topics: 1) Pascal's Principle, 2) Buoyancy, and 3) Archimedes' Principle.In a nutshell, objects submerged in a fluid such as water will experience an upward force that is proportional to the size of the object. That upward force is called buoyancy. If an object's buoyancy is greater than its weight (which is a downward force), the object will float. If the buoyancy is not sufficiently large to overcome the weight, the objects sinks.
Could you find a scientific sentence with the word buoyancy?
We are merely testing the buoyancy of several types of ping pong balls.
How do you use buoyancy?
Buoyancy is what keeps a boat floating on the top of the water. Buoyancy is what makes a helium balloon float in the air.
What is zero percent buoyancy?
Zero percent buoyancy is actually just sinking. Something that sunk is having zero percent buoyancy
Who discovered the laws of floatation?
Archimedes, indeed it's law of buoyancy.
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?
Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Does freshwater have buoyancy?
Yes, all fluids have buoyancy.
Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.

When was buoyancy found?
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
How can buoyancy be demonstrated?
buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water

Is Archimedes best known for his principle which deals with the buoyant force?
Yes, Archimedes is best known for his principle that is Archimedes' principle ( or the law of buoyancy )
