What is the weight of pressure pressing on an object called?
Meow!
What will happen if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces?
It will sink.
What is apparent weight?
Apparent weight of an object is the weight of an object when the object is partially or totally immersed in a fluid{liquid/gas} normally apparent weight of an object is less than the real weight of an object due to an upward force {upthrust} which is produced by the pressure difference inside the fluids.
What is meant by pressure in terms of physics?
In terms of physics pressure means the force per unit area. When an object is placed on a surface such as a desk the pressure is the weight of the object against the surface.
What would happen if the reaction force was less than weight?
If a structure on which an object rests is not capable of sustaining the weight, the object would break through.
Does the pressure of an object increases with increase in its weight?
yes

Weight is the result of air pressure exerted upon an object?
Weight is the result of the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between the object and another mass. It has nothing to do with air pressure.

What has to happen for an object to float?
It has to have a light weight, mass, and density.
How would the weight of an object vary if it is transported from the Earth to the Moon?
If the mass remained the same, the weight would be about 1/6 in lunar gravity.

What would happen to the weight of an object if you took the object to the deepest valley on Earth?
I'm 99percent that you will be heavier.
What would happen if the reaction force was less than weight?
If a structure on which an object rests is not capable of sustaining the weight, the object would break through.
Is weight the result of air pressure exerted on an object?
Mass and Earth's gravity
This force acts upwards on objects suspended in water or air what is it?
It is called buoyant force. It is calculated by determining the volume of water displaced by the object, which is the volume of the object under water.The weight of this quantity of water is the buoyant force. It can also be calculated by knowing the depth of the object in the water, the pressure at that depth, and the area of the bottom of the object. Buoyant Force = Pressure * depth It can also be calculated by knowing the weight of the object. If an object is floating the water is supporting the object's weight. So the buoyant force = weight of object
