Buoyancy exerted by a fluid is directly related to which property of the fluid?
Buoyancy is directly related to the density of the fluid. The more dense the fluid, the greater the buoyant force it exerts.
How is buoyancy related to matter?
Buoyancy is related to matter because it uses solids and liquids.
How is buoyancy related to floating?
They are related because buoyancy makes something sink or float.
How is Archimedes related to buoyancy?
Archimedes stated that the mass of liquid displaced by a floating body equalled the mass of that body. One can deduce from this that if the displacement is less than the mass of a body then that body will sink.
Do objects with buoyancy have more or less mass?
Objects with buoyancy have the same mass regardless of whether they are submerged or floating. Buoyancy is determined by the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, not the object's mass. Therefore, an object's mass remains constant while its buoyancy changes based on the fluid it is in.
What volume of material would have to be removed from a stainless cube measuring thirty centimeters per side to make it float?
The buoyancy depends on the shape as well as the mass. So it is not simply a question of how much mass is removed, but from where.The buoyancy depends on the shape as well as the mass.

In terms of buoyancy how does a life jacket save your life?
A life jacket is also known as a floatation or buoyancy aid - it acts to increase your buoyancy. So what do we mean by this? Well, buoyancy can be described simply as how easily an object will float in a fluid (or gas), where the more buoyant the object the better it will float. Buoyancy is related to the density of an object which is in turn related to the amount of mass a given object has relative to it's volume. As the density of an object gets larger compared to the density of the fluid it is floating in, its buoyancy will decrease and it will become less able to float. As the density of the object becomes larger than the density of the fluid it is floating in, it will sink. Now that we understand buoyancy, we can explain how a life jacket works. A life jacket is mainly filled with gas which has a very low mass. As such when worn by a person, it acts to significantly increase their volume for only a very small increase in their mass. This means that they have a lower density than normal which increases their buoyancy and helps them to float.
How do you know if you have positive or neutral buoyancy?
If you float well the buoyancy is positive (your mass is less than the mass of the displaced liquid (water?), if you just manage to float or at least don't sink at any great speed, the buoyancy is neutral (your mass equals the mass of the liquid displaced).
How does mass affect buoyancy?
Mass affects buoyancy by determining the weight of an object that displaces a fluid. The greater the mass of an object, the more force it exerts on the fluid it displaces, resulting in greater buoyant force. This relationship between mass and buoyancy helps determine whether an object sinks or floats in a fluid.
What is buoyancy and does it relate to balloons?
For a full explanation of how the buoyancy principle works and how it relates the helium and hot air balloons go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.
What is buoyancy determined by?
The amount of buoyancy an item has is determined by its weight in comparison to its volume (or simply put, its density) The less dense it is, the more buoyant it is. For a full explanation of how buoyancy works go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.
How do you calculate the amount of foam you need to support a dock?
Mass of dock. Initial buoyancy. Buoyancy of additional foam.
