What is the smallest upthrust force needed to float 600 Newtons?
your weight
What force makes a straw and clay ball float even though there is a force pulling them down?
upthrust
Is upthrust contact force?
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
What does upthrust maen?
upthrust means the force that keeps the force up
Is upthrust contact or non contact force?
Upthrust is a contact force :)

your weight
What is the upward force making things float?
upthrust
How do balls float?
Well balls float-cos the force of upthrust from the water is pushing them up-and is stronger than gravity.The surface area increases the upthrust-which is why pumped balls float better than deflated.
Whats the definition for upthrust?
The definition for: Upthrust is a force that helps something float. An object that is partly, or completely, submerged experiences a greater pressure on its bottom surface than on its top surface.
What force makes a straw and clay ball float even though there is a force pulling them down?
upthrust
How does the design of large boats allow them to float?
no design matters. it is the force of water resistance and upthrust that are level that allows any boat to float
Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?
The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.
Is upthrust contact force?
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
What does upthrust maen?
upthrust means the force that keeps the force up
Is upthrust contact or non contact force?
Upthrust is a contact force :)
What force causes objects to float on water?
Gravity makes a ship float. Gravity pulls harder on the mass of water than the air inside the ship. In this way the water is pulled under the ship, instead of the ship being pulled under the water.
If the upthrust is greater than the weight what happens to the submarine?
Well, if the Upthrust were greater than the weight, there would be a net force upwards, and as a consequence of newtons second law a=F/m it accelerates upwards. Hence, the submarine floats.
