Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.

What is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion?
Friction
What is the force that keeps things floating?
buoyancy
What force in fluid described by Archimedes' principle allow object to float?
Bouyant Force
Is the bouyant force of water proportional to its depth?
No. Water is incompressible. Buoyancy is determined by density, and being incompressible the density stays the same. Once an object is submerged there's no more buoyancy to be generated.
What are the type of forces?
There are many types of forces: friction, spring, gravity, buoyancy, tension, drag, applied, upthrust and elastic.
What is the force that acts against the force of buoyancy?
gravity
Against what other force does buoyancy act?
Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.
The contact force that acts on objects in a liquid or gas and allows objects to float is called density or buoyancy?
buoyant force
What force acts against other forces?
Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.
How do the forces of gravity and buoyancy affect a submarine?
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 is the force that acts on any object placed in a fluid?
The forces of gravity and buoyancy both do.
Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
What is the force called that is exerted by a fluid that has objects immersed in it?
Buoyant force, buoyancy force, buoyancy.
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
Friction is a force that always acts?
Friction is a force that always acts opposite to sliding or rolling of one solid object over another.
How is fluid used to lift heavy objects?
Water helps lift an objects via the buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the volume of the submerged object. If this buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float in that position. If the object is completely submerged and the resulting buoyancy force is less than the weight of the object, it will continue to sink.
If only gravity and support force acts on the object what is the net force?
The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Weight pulls down, buoyancy pushes up. If an object weighs 50 N and the buoyancy force is 40 N, only 10 N is required to lift the object out of the water
