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.
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 factors affect buoyant force?
cohesive and adhesive force
Why does not the BUYONT FORCE acts in upward direction?
Actually it does. That's the whole point of the "buoyant force".
Does shape affect the net force of a buoyant object rising in fluid or being submersed?
No.
What is the relationship between buoyant force and gravity?
buoyant force is always or equal to the force exerted by gravity. that's why an object floats.
What 2 forces affect you when you float how do these 2 forces compare in size?
There is the downward force of gravity, pushing you towards the bottom of the body of water. The second force is buoyant force which keeps you afloat. Since you aren't sinking then the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity.
How does weight of an object immersed in a liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
Not at all. (The buoyancy force equals the weight if the displaced water,)
Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What is an buoyant force?
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
What happens if the buoyant force decreases?
As buoyant force decreases then the body starts sinking down.
