Yes, a force can change the volume of an object. Some objects are not very compressible, but some are. A balloon might be an example of the latter. With a balloon, the less the pressure on the outside, the larger the volume taken up by the gas inside as the balloon expands. When we launch high altitude balloons, we fill them with enough helium to get them going, and as they get higher in the atmosphere where air pressure is less, the balloon expands. The gas inside is taking up more volume. In a less dramatic example, if we take a rubber ball and attach it to a deep diving submarine or ROV (remotely operated vehicle), it will be compressed by the increasing water pressure as the ball descends. Nothing is totally resistant to a change in force, but some things react a great deal more than others. A block if steel won't be compressed very much, even if it is lying on the ocean floor. But is it slightly smaller in volume there than it would be at the surface.

What is the buoyant force on a 240 newton object?

The bouyant force depends on the volume of an object. Specifically, the volume of fluid the object displaces.


Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?

On its volume.


What kind of force can change an object's position?

The force that can change an object's position is an unbalanced force.


What force can change the object?

Force can change the acceleration of an object a =F/m.


How does Archimedes principle relate the buoyant force acting on an object and the volume of the fluid displaced by the object?

The buoyancy force is equal to the WEIGHT of the volume of fluid displaced by the object.


Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?

It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.


Can forces change an object motiin?

Yes, forces can change an object's motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The change in motion is determined by the magnitude and direction of the force applied.


What is the buoyant force of a 150lb object submerged in water?

That completely depends on the object's volume (which you have not mentioned). The buoyant force on it is equal to the weight of an equal volume of water.


What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?

the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.


Does the total force on an object determine the change in the object's motion?

The total vector force on an object determines the change in its velocity. That change is also known as acceleration.


Pressure is equal to the amount of force exerted on an object divided by the volume over which the force is exerted?

Over the area not volume
