Does it depend on the weight of the object itself or on its volume itself in a bouyant force of an object?

The buoyant force on an object depends only on the weight of the fluid displaced:
Fb = Vd*ρf*g
Vd may not be the volume of the object; for example: if the object is floating on the liquid surface. Also, there may be other forces acting on the object, such as its weight (Mo*g)

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.
Why does the weight of an object have nothing to do with bouyant force?
It's only the VOLUME of the displaced water that counts.
Does the buoyant force on an object depend on the weight or of the volume of the object?
volume
Why is it easier to lift an object that is underwater than it is to live the object whenit is out of the water?
the water provides a bouyant force proportional to the volume of water displaced.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?
On its volume.
Does upthrust depend on the volume of an object?
yes
Does the amount of water displaced by an object depend on its mass or its volume?
Volume
What is the relationship between the volume and the buoyancy?
Density = mass / volume. An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed. The buoyant force is equal to the volume (this may be the submerged part of the volume) times the density of the displaced fluid.
Newtons principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
because bouyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in, if a fluis is displaced by the volume of an object the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on the object
How does the temperature of water affect the speed at which an object sinks?
Yes. As water is heated above 4oC it expands. With this change in volume comes a change in density. Less density means less bouyant force on the object in the water.
What is the bouyancy of air?
Bouyant force was described by Archimedes to be equal to the force due to gravity of the substance displaced by the object. So in the case of a balloon in water the bouyant force is equal to the force of weight of the water that the balloon displaces otherwise known as the (volume of the balloon)*(density of water)*gravity. Hope that helps
What describes the notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the objects weight?
Bouyancy is defined as the force on a object submerged in a fluid equal to the difference in weight of the object and the fluid displaced. If the total weight of the object is the same as the same volume of the fluid, the bouyant force is zero, and the object will stay in the same place.
