No chance of buoyancy force in free space. Buoyancy is the force is due to the weight of the expelled fluid when an object comes into that fluid. But in free space no material is present and so no expelling. Hence no buoyancy.

Yes. It is possible to have buoyancy without gravity. So go ahead and write that down if you wanna.

How negative buoyancy affect a blimp?

Negative buoyancy is when the gravitational pull on a diver is greater than the buoyant force. This means that the diver is being pulled downward, and that the buoyant force is doing negative work (work that is in the opposite direction of the displacement). Positive buoyancy is the opposite situation in which the buoyant force of the diver is greater than the gravitational pull, which makes the diver move upwards. Usually, a person's weight is slightly more than the weight of the displaced amount of water. For example, a person who weighs 80kg displaces 79dm2 of water, which weighs 79kg, that is, he has about 1kg of negative buoyancy. As for your question whether this negative buoancy is a unique feature for black people, the answer is no. it is related to the person's density.


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.


What branch of science is buoyancy classified under?

The phenomenon of buoyancy would be classified under the category of hydraulics.


Why do countries have to work together on space projects?

Countries work together on space projets because if just one did it might not work right.


The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?

The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.

What causes the buoyancy to increase or decrease?

Buoyancy force come from difference in density of the object and the surrounding. Buoyancy of the ship can change from the pay load inside its' space. More load per space reduce the buoyancy. For Balloon, buoyancy is change by increase temperature of gas inside to balloon since increase in temperature would cause gas to expand and had lesser density in its' cavity. In general, buoyancy increase or decrease by changing of density of the object or the surrounding medium.


Do buoyancy works only in water If No where else it can work?

All objects have buoyancy when imersed in any liquid.


What are buoyancy compensators typically used for?

Buoyancy compensators are typically used for compensating things such as buoyancy things. These things need to be compensated very often to work properly.


Do buoyancy work only in water If No then where else can it work?

Buoyancy can work in any liquid provided that the object floating weighs less than the liquid it displaces. This is true regardless of whether it is water or not! Buoyancy works in any fluid. The fluid can be any liquid, or any gas.

Does lifting weights in a pool work as well as on land?

No........buoyancy.


Will one ton float in outer space?

Nothing 'floats' in outer space. Objects are in freefall. Floating implies there is something to provide buoyancy, this is not so in space. Space is the absence of matter.

How could working underwater help astronauts being in space?

Having neutral buoyancy underwater simulates the weightlessness the astronauts will experience in space.


Will a cut up float noodle still work?

Yes, but with less buoyancy.


Is gravity needed for buoyancy?

Gravity is needed for buoyancy as if there was no gravity then there would be no need for buoyancy, the need for buoyancy is to counteract the pull of gravity so you can stay at the surface of a liquid such as water. If there was no gravity then there would be no need to counteract it. I hope this the answer you needed. What if there is a ball of water in space and a cork made dof wood is inserted carefully into the ball. Would it 'rise' from the center of the ball towards the surface or not???


What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?

Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
