What determines an objects buoyant force?
Density
What word describes objects that float?
buoyant
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.
What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?
Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).
Air has a lower density then water If an object is buoyant in air is it buoyant in water?
yes, because water allows light objects like air to float on it
What determines an objects buoyant force?
Density
What word describes objects that float?
buoyant
What are the 2 forces involved in sinking and floating?
Gravity is pulling down, and Buoyancy is pushing up. When the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, objects sink. When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, objects float.
What if an objects weighs 135 newtons how much is the buoyant force to make a neutral buoyancy?
The buoyant force is 135N
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.
Why do objects seem to be lighter in water than in air?
Objects are more buoyant in water than in air.
Does an objects buoyant and weight mean the same thing?
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
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.
What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?
Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).
What objects float in salt water?
Ships, boats, anything buoyant, really...
What force cause objects to float when the weight is greater than a buoyant force?
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
What objects are of neutral bouyancy?
The question makes no sense. Objects are buoyant in a surrounding fluid; change the fluid, change their buoyancy.
