What is the upward force on an object submerged in a fluid called?
buoyancy
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
Which term describes the upward push of fluid on an object in the fluid?
Buoyant force
Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
the '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
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
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.
What describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
buoancy
Which term describes the upward push of fluid on an object in the fluid?
Buoyant force
Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
the 'buoyant' force
Why are forces exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not balanced?
Forces are exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not being balanced due to buoyancy. This is when the pressure at the bottom of the submerged object is greater than the fluid on the top of the object, thus projecting the object upward.
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 .
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
