What happens if the buoyant force on an object is less than the weight of the object?

You go up. This is how a balloon works. As you go higher, the air gets thinner and the upthrust gets smaller. Eventually you don't go any higher.

What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?
If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object than the object will accelerate (assuming there are no other forces acting on the object)
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
WHAT IS the relation between the Buoyant force and the weight of an object floating in a liquid?
When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it?
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces. This is called Archimedes' principle, which states that "The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."
Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
What happens when the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force?
The object sinks.

When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
An objects buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?
No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
How does the buoyant force affect a submerged object?
If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.
What happens when the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force?
It is stationary, regardless of where it is.

When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)

It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
What can you say about the buoyant force of an object floats in a fluid?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
With buoyancy force as reference when does an object float and sink?
An object floats when the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight. An object sinks when the buoyant force is less than the object's weight.
