What is the upward force on an object submerged in a fluid called?
buoyancy
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.
Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
Which direction does a buoyant force act in?
A buoyant force is produced when an object is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest .
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
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.
An upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object?
buoyancy
What is the upward force on an object submerged in a fluid called?
buoyancy
When the buoyant force on a submerged object is more than the weight of the object?
The net force on the object is upward, so the object accelerates upward in the fluid.
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.
Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
Which direction does a buoyant force act in?
A buoyant force is produced when an object is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest .
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 force is the upward force exerted on any object in a fluid?
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
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.
Why does buoyant force act upward?
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.
What is the upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object?
the weight water displaced (volume of the object times 62.4 for fresh water) minus the weight of the object in air
