How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the water displaced?
The buoyant force on a fully submerged object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. In fact, that's also true of a floating object.
What is the force on a floating object that is equal to the amount of water the object displaces?
You're fishing for the "buoyant force", but the wording of the question isquite unscientific.The force on the floating object is not equal to water. It's equal to theweight of the amount of water that is displaced.
If an object floats the volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of what?
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
If an object floats in water what can you conclude about its density relative to water?
In general the density of the floating object has to be less than that of water. BUt it is not always necessary to be so. Even dense material could be shaped in such a way it could float on water. The main thing is that the weight of the displaced water has to be more than that of the floating object. This is Archimedes principle.
Which force determines whether or not an object will float?
This is archemedies principle. This is a balance between the force on the water displaced by gravity compared to the force on the floating object due to gravity. That is if the average density of the object that whishes to float is less then water then it will float. If it is greater then it will sink.For a boat the average density is the average of the density of the hull and the air inside the hull.
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater true or false?
It's true that the volume of displaced water of a floating object equalst the portion of that object that is underwater.

Why does displacement matter for floating or sinking?
The weight of the water (or other liquid, or gas) displaced is equal to the force with which the water will push the object upwards.

How does the mass of a floating wood compare to the mass of water displaced?
equal
Is it true that If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater?
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
How do you find the mass of an object based on the displaced water?
To find the mass of an object based on the displaced water, you can make use of Archimedes' principle. Measure the volume of the water displaced by the object, and then multiply it by the density of water (usually 1 g/mL). This will give you the mass of the object.
What can be assumed about the buoyant force on an object floating in water?
The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight out of water.
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.
