What happens if you decrease your buoyant force?

You sink.


When the buoyant force is stronger than the force of gravity an object will?

It will accelerate upward. When it reaches the surface and part of the object sticks out of the fluid, then the buoyant force decreases. When enough of it sticks out so that the buoyant force exactly equals the force of gravity (the object's weight), then it stops rising and stays right where it is (floats).


What happens to the buoyant force on an object as is lowered into water?

It raises.


What happens when the of a submerged object is exactly equal to buoyant force?

i will float


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.


What happens when the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force?

The object sinks.


What happens when the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force?

It is stationary, regardless of where it is.


What happens when the weight of a submerged is exactly equal to the buoyant force?

The submerged will float


What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?

If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object than the object will accelerate (assuming there are no other forces acting on the object)


What happens to the gravitational force if distance increases?

It decreases[:


An objects buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.


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.
