Why do objects experience a bouyant force when immersed in a fluid?

It all depends on the density of the object. Water has a density of 1.00, and objects with lesser density float, and vice versa. That is why gold sinks, because it has a density of 19.63, while rubber floats with a density of about .8

∙ 9y agoWhen there is an object in water, it experiences buoyancy because the water also has weight. The weight of the water pushes the object upwards to make it float.

∙ 13y agoboyancy is caused by the substance being less dense than water. It causes the object to rise up in the water

What are the archemedes principle?
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
What is the differences in fluid pressure create buoyant force on an object?
its because the water puts fluid pressure everywhere on the object which creates a bouyant force.
What are factors affecting upthrust?
upthrust=buoyant force=weight of the body immersed in d liquid so gravity and mass is a cause of upthrust as weight of a body=mass* gravity
Will ships float lower or higher in tropical water?
Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.
Why do solids support objects more then fluids?
because the particles in solids are more close together and strong so they would support it better than fluid because fluid particles are spread out. Hope this helps. : )
What is the name of the force exerted by fluid on objects immersed in it?
Bouyant force
Name of the force exerted by a fluid on objects immersed in it?
atmosphere
What is the force called that is exerted by a fluid that has objects immersed in it?
Buoyant force, buoyancy force, buoyancy.
What actually affect buoyant force?
-- volume of the object immersed in fluid -- density of the fluid in which the object is immersed
Why does a buoyant force act on every object in Fluid?
Buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects. Because all of the objects displace the fluid, buoyant force acts on all of them.
What is boyant force?
Bouyant Force-is the upward force on a object in a fluid exerted by the surrounding fluid .
What phenomonon did Archimedes explain?
Archimedes' Principle states that for a body immersed in a fluid it will experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces, buoyancy is the phenomenon of concern.
What is the force that determines whether or not the object will float?
It it not about force. It is about Density. If a Solid object is denser than the liquid you place it in,it will sink . If it is less Dense than the liquid , it will float. All objects immersed in a liquid, experience an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced.
Can the bouyant force depend on the shape of the object in the fluid?
no, it depends on how dense the object is
Who stated the relationship between bouyant force and weight of displaced fluid?
Archimedes.
What are the archemedes principle?
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
What is the bouyant force determined by?
The buoyant force is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid. The weight of the displaced fluid is in turn determined by the volume of the displaced fluid.
