How does bouyancy affect matter?

It affects almost like density.


How does object volume affect buoyancy?

If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy


What are the observable physical properties of matter?

bouyancy density


How does density affect buoyancy?

Ignoring shapes (using cubes), density (mass/volume) greater than "water" means it sinks. The floating object displaces its weight of the buoyant "object" (water, etc.)when it floats, but displaces its volume when it sinks.


How does the density of an object affect it as it sinks through water?

It's difficult to tell what you are asking. If the question is concerned with the bouyancy of the object, it will sink if it first displaces its volume of water, or will float if it first displaces its weight in water. Since density is mass per unit volume, objects with an average density greater than water will sink.


How does bouyancy affect boats?

because boaties can floatie


How does density effect bouyancy?

Buoyancy is the ability to float, so if the density is high, it'll hold up something. (see? FLOATING. BUOYANCY.)


Salt water effect bouyancy?

more salt means more density so more buoyancy.


What type of bouyancy force sinks?

An object will sink in a fluid medium if its density is greater than that of the medium.


How does an objects volume affect buoyancy?

If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy


How do scuba divers use density?

Divers use substances with high density (ie. lead) to help them sink, and substances with low density (ie. air) to help them float. That way they control their bouyancy.


How do scuba divers alter their average density to float?

Divers usually increase their density by wearing a weight belt (which contains lead weights). Some divers also rely, to a lesser degree, on using steel tanks, which are more dense than aluminum tanks. To decrease their density, divers put air into a Bouyancy Control Device (BCD). Some divers may also control bouyancy by putting air into a drysuit if they wear one. Whereas the increase in density created by the weightbelt is normally fixed, the positive bouyancy provided by the BCD can be varied throughout the dive. Usually a divers net density will decrease over the dive - a diver with a full scuba tank has about 4.5 lbs of extra weight (the weight of the gas) over a diver with an empty scuba tank.
