Why is there an upward force on objects in fluid?

Gravity pulls both the fluid and the submerged object downward. The difference between the gravitational attractive forces on the fluid and the submerged object describes the upward (buoyant) force that the fluid exerts on the object.


The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of what?

The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.


What are positive negative and neutral buoyancies?

Positive buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is upward, so the object tries to rise.Negative buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is downward, so the object tries to sink.Neutral buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is zero. The object stays at whatever depthit is released, without rising or sinking.


The net upward force that a liquid exerts on a submerged object is?

The upward force exerted by a liquid on a submerged object (or even on a floating object) is called buoyancy.


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produces?

FALSE


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?

FALSE


Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?

The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force


What scientific rule states that the buoyant force an an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

Since the object is submerged, we know that the buoyant force is not sufficient to overcome the weight of the object, otherwise it would be floating rather than being submerged. Therefore, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, not the weight of the object itself.


What force causes object to move downward?

The force that causes objects to move downward is gravity


What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?

buoyant force


The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?

The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.


What direction does pressure act on an object?

Downward or inward if the pressure comes from being submerged in a fluid.
