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.

False.

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force of an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This is not a question, it is just a statement.

If the object's weight is greater than the buoyant force, it sinks;

Less, it floats;

and equal, it is suspended.

Hope this helps!

We have to get pickey with that statement. The way it's worded, it's not true.

-- Every object placed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to

the weight of the fluid it displaces. That's exactly Archimedes' Principle.

-- A floating object is one that experiences a buoyant force equal to its own weight.

no because the bouyancy has to be more than the weight of the ball to float that means that it will sink because the bouyancy does not have enough force to overcome the weight.

Archimedes principle states that when an object is immersed in fluid(water or gas) ,the object experience an upthrust which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced .

Archimedes' principle states that an object placed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force to the weight of the fluid it displaces true or false?

TRUE


If you are buoyant you can?

Not sure what you are looking for. This is Archimede's principle though, A buoyant object experiences an upward force, and at the same time displaced the medium in which it is placed. Is that what you were looking for? Basically...you float


If two identical objects are placed in different fluids the buoyant force will be greater on the object in the?

The buoyant force will be greater on the object in the denser fluid.


Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force on object placed in them?

Yes, liquid and gases exert a buoyant force on object because of the surface tension of the fluid.


What happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid?

The object will sink in the fluid.


What will happen if the buoyant force of a liquid is less than the weight of an object placed in that fluid?

The object will sink in the fluid.


The fact that an object placed in water displaces some of that water is known as the Ripple Effect.?

false


What will happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid according to Archimedes' principle?

Then the object will sink.


What is the relationship between the volume and the buoyancy?

Density = mass / volume. An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed. The buoyant force is equal to the volume (this may be the submerged part of the volume) times the density of the displaced fluid.


How does a flat shaped object float?

Well it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it is placed in. The object produces a buoyant force that lifts it to the surface of the liquid.


Explain how the buoyant force acting on an object placed in water can be measured?

measure the water before you put the object in it. and whatever the difference is thats buoyancy


What will an object do when it is placed in a liquid of greater density?

It could dissolve.Or it could float or sink. Which of the two it does depends on the mass of the liquid that it displaces which, in turn, depends on the shape of the object.
