Does the buoyant force on a submerged inflated balloon increase as it sinks?

No, it actually might decrease due to balloon being compressed by pressure.
Floating objects are governed by Archimedes Principle which states that the weight of a floating object is equal to the water it displaces. A corollary of Archimedes Principle is that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the volume of water displaced. Therefore, when a balloon is compressed as it submerges it displaces less water and the buoyant force decreases proportionately.

What happens when the weight of a submerged is exactly equal to the buoyant force?
The submerged will float
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produces?
FALSE
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
Is a hot-air balloon buoyant?
Yes, hot air balloons are less dense and therefore buoyant ============================================ Hot air balloons are buoyant to the extent that the weight of the hot air in the balloon is lighter than the free air. When the difference is more than the weight of the balloon and its contents it will be buoyant and will ascend.
The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?
The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.
MasteringPhysics What is the magnitude of the buoyant force on the balloon?
The magnitude of a buoyant force on a balloon depends on the size of the balloon. In other words, the force will be either big or small depending on the correlating size of the balloon in use with the experiment.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
What is more buoyant air filled balloon or Styrofoam?
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
Explains the buoyant force on an object submerged in fluid?
it is archimedes' principle
What happens when the of a submerged object is exactly equal to buoyant force?
i will float
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
