What is the upward force on objects in a fluid?
bouyancy
What force is pushing up?
Bouyancy... its what makes things float in water.
The force of a fluid that pushes an object up is called?
bouyancy or upthrust
What force in fluids described by Archimedes'principle allows objects to float?
bouyancy
What is the force which supports objects in fluid?
The property of bouyancy is the property related to keeping objects supported in fluids.
What is the definition of bouyancy?
Bouyancy determines whether an object sinks or floats.
What does bouyancy mean?
bouyancy- force of weight of gas fluids.
What force makes a whale surface?
bouyancy
What is the upward force on objects in a fluid?
bouyancy
The force that makes a boat float?
The force that is at work is gravity. If you are thinking of bouyancy, it is not a force.
Why a ball of steel sinks but boat made of steel floats?
The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks
Why dosent a ship sink?
The bouyancy of the vessel keeps it afloat. As long as the force of bouyancy is larger then the mass of the ship it will stay afloat.

How does buoyancy affect whether an object will sink or float?
If you just set the object in the water, the buoyant force never becomes greater than the object's weight. It sinks and sinks, displacing more and more water, building up more and more buoyant force, until the buoyant force is equal to its weight. At that point, the net force on it is zero, it stops sinking, and it stays right there (floating). The only way you can produce a buoyant force greater than its weight is to force it further down and hold it there. Since the buoyant force is greater than its weight, as soon as you let go, the net force on it is up, and it'll rise, partly out of the water until the buoyant force drops to equal its weight, and again ... it'll stay right there. So the answer to the question is: An object can't stay indefinitely in a position where the buoyant force is greater than its weight. If that happens, then it lifts some of itself out of the water, reducing the buoyant force, until the buoyant force is again just equal to its weight.
