What force keeps objects from sinking in water?
Buoyant force.
How could you determine buoyant force?
The bouyant force acts in an upward direction against gravity. It keeps things from sinking.
What is the relationship between the weight of displaced liquid and the buoyant force on the body?
Boyant force on a body will equal weight of displaced liquid or the body keeps sinking
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 is upthrust useful?
it keeps us from sinking to the bottom of the sea (or more simply keeps us afloat) and i suppose the same applies to boats

How do pond skaters stay afloat?
The water tension keeps them from sinking
What keeps the mantle from cooling down and becoming solid?
convection currents bringing heat to every part of the mantle
Why buoyancy is called the anti gravity force?
This answer may not be too technical but you will get the general concept. Generally buoyant force is the force which help the objects to float in fluids which includes water and air without sinking. From this its clear that it acts in the direction opposite to the gravity force to make the object float. Gravity is the force that keeps things gown on earth Thus its called the anti gravity force.
What force keeps the planets in rotation?
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
Why camels have flat feet?
It keeps their feet from sinking into the shifting sands common in the desert.
