What effect does buoyancy have on a submerged object?

It tends to float the submerged object on the surface of that medium.


If an object has the same density as the fluid it is submerged in the object will always?

Will always float with the top surface level with the water


When will an object float on a fluid's surface?

To be straight in answering,I would write that if that particular object has its density nearly equal to the density of fluid displaced by its submerged part then only the object will be likely to float in the fluid.


Does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object depend on the weight of the object or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

The buoyant force on any object in a fluid ... whether partially or fully submerged ... isequal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. That's related to the object'svolume, and has nothing to do with its weight.


What is The property of water that allows an object to float upon it?

"Buoyancy" is the term derived from the word "buoy," which means "float." Buoyancy is the tendency of a body to float or to rise when submerged in a fluid (partially above the surface or completely submerged beneath the surface). It is also the power of a fluid to exert an upward force on a body placed in it. According to Archimedes' Principle: An object in fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid which the object displaces. Buoyancy arises from the fact that fluid pressure increases with depth and from the fact that the increased pressure is exerted in all directions (Pascal's Principle) so that there is an unbalanced upward force on the bottom of a submerged object. (see related links below, including the video demonstration on the science kids website)

Will an object that has a density of 0.5gmcubed will it float or sinkfloat or sink?

Any submerged object that have less dense than the water it will float. Therefore your submerged object probably will float because it has less dense than the water. I hope my answer helped you.=)

No, Cabomba is a partially-submerged plant. It is rooted in soil at the bottom of the pond with its leaves, flowers, fruits on or above the surface of the water.
