If the apparent weight of an object can be found by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object what is the apparent weight of the floating object?

Zero.


Why might scientists measure the weight of an object rather than the weight of an object?

The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.


Does the buoyant force on a floating object depend on the weight of the object itself or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

The buoyant force on a floating object depends on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, not on the weight of the object itself. This is known as Archimedes' principle.


Buoyancy force is determined by comparing the?

Buoyancy force is determined by comparing the weight of the fluid displaced by an object to the weight of the object itself. If the weight of the fluid displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float. If the weight of the fluid displaced is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink.


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.


What is the net weight of a floating object?

The net weight of a floating object is equal to the weight of the object minus the weight of the fluid it displaces. When an object is floating, the buoyant force exerted by the fluid is equal to the weight of the object, causing it to stay afloat.


Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?

No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.


What best detirmines the net force when more than one force is acting on an object?

You need to get the vector sum. You can do this by resoving all forces into its 3 axis components, adding forces in like axes, and compute the new vector.


Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object itself or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.


What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.


Why weight of object maximum in vaccum?

The weight of an object is the force acting upon it due to gravity. In a vacuum, there is no air resistance or buoyant force counteracting the weight of the object, so the weight of the object is at its maximum.
