Is the force of gravity acting upon an object the object's mass?
No. Mass is a property of the object and doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what's happening to it. The force of gravity on the object is its "weight" and that can change. It depends on, for example, what planet the object is on.
If an object is placed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces the object will float?
If the buoyant force is less than the weight, the object must accelerate down. If it ever displaces enough water to increase the buoyant force to equal its weight, then it'll stop sinking. Otherwise, it goes straight to the bottom.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object, no matter how much or how little it's submerged, is equal to the weight of the displaced water. Technically, that even goes for an object that's a thousand miles from the nearest water.
Does the angle of a catapult affect the distance of a ball?
Hello: * Yes, the angle of a catapult does affect the distance. And this applies to both changing the angle of the catapult and changing the angle of the terrain under the catapult. If you shoot the catapult at say 45 degrees, you have very good distance. If you shoot it at 30 degrees, while it may be further, it would be lower to the ground and perhaps not travel as far hitting trees and running into wind-shear. If you shoot at say 80 degrees, while the lob goes high up in the air, it won't travel very far. So your best bet, for maximum distance, is to take your catapult to the highest possible altitude, aim for 45 degrees, taking into account the wind direction and speed, and lob away. Don't hit anyone. :) Answer Actually, the maximum distance that can be achieved from a catapult is at an angle of 45 degrees. Every degree increase from 0 up to 45 approaches the maximum distance that something can be thrown. Every degree from 45 to 90 decreases the distance.
What does the phrase an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
the force goes through the object
What is the same mass and weight?
The mass of an object doesn't change, no matter where the object goes. The object's weight changes, depending on what other masses are nearby.
Does the weight of and object affects how fast it goes down a plank?
It is possible.
What angle goes the farthest in launching a catapult?
45°
Does density of objects with the same weight affect how far it goes off a catapult?
Yes; if density is lower with same weight it will have bigger volume, hence more air resistance when catapulted and hence less distance traveled
What is the effect of an object's height on it's potential energy?
Generally, the higher an object goes, the higher its potential energy will be. This is because higher object will have more energy when it falls.
How are redshifts created?
A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.A redshift can be created by several mechanisms; one that is of great interest to astronomers is the Doppler effect: if an object comes towards us, or goes away from us, the frequence of the light we receive from that object, changes.

Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
How far does the Wyvern catapult goes?
As long as your small Pin which would be 1 inch
Would mass change if we were on another planet?
No, mass is the same for an object wherever it goes. What changes is its weight, which is the force of attraction acting on it through proximity to a massive object.
What size bottle for a coke rocket goes the highest?
56,000 gallons. Anything bigger and the weight would have a major effect.
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
