What can be assumed about the buoyant force on an object floating in water?
The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight out of water.
What is the buoyant force on a 30 lb block of wood floating in a lake?
If it's floating, then the buoyant force on it must be 30 pounds upward.
What force keeps boats floating?
upthrust
What two things can set a still object in motion?
Only force can. But there must be a million things that can produce the force, including everything from golf clubs to rocket engines.
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)
What is the force that keeps things floating?
buoyancy
How does the earth hold its Atmosphere?
With a force called gravity. Each atom and molecule of the atmosphere has an atomic weight, which keeps it from floating away into space.
What force keeps your atmosphere from floating out into space?

Identify some effects of the gravitational force exerted by earth?
The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit and also keeps the air in the atmosphere from leaving into space. Finally, it is what makes things fall down instead of just floating in midair.
Are gravity and atmosphere synonoms?
No. Gravity is the attractive force that exists between all things with mass. It is what makes things fall. An atmosphere is the envelope of gasses that surrounds a planet or moon. Earth's atmosphere is the air we breathe.

Would the force of an explosion in space effect an object near it?
Yes - IF debris strike the nearby object ... including gasses. The force (on Earth) from compressing the atmosphere is missing.
What force keeps boats floating?
upthrust
A freely floating Astronaut pushes another freely floating astronaut in an artificial satellite What is the force applied by the 1st astronaut on the 2nd one?
The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.
