An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid it is in. Buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by the object. Objects that are denser than the fluid they are in will sink.

Which statements below are true speed increases as time decreases for the same distance?

None of the statements are true. Speed is distance divided by time, therefore, as time decreases and distance remains constant, speed increases.


What is the relationship between the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity in an object's stability in water?

The relationship between the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity in an object's stability in water is that for an object to be stable, the center of gravity must be located below the center of buoyancy. This ensures that the object will remain upright and not tip over in the water.


What is a metacentric diagram?

A metacentric diagram is a vessel (ship) stability diagram that shows the relative positions above and below the metacenter of the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity, respectively. Use the link to the Wikipedia article to view one and see how it looks. Follow along and see how it works. When a vessel floats in water, its center of gravity is below its center of buoyancy. That allows gravity to pull down on buoyancy from below the bouyancy to pull up on gravity from above (if it is permitted to say it that way). If the center of buoyancy slips below the center of gravity, the vessel will roll over. Visualize that. And the closer the two centers are, the less stable the vessel. That is, the more prone to rollover it is. The "sweet spot" between the centers of buoyancy and gravity is the metacenter. It's important in evaluating a ship's stability.


Ask us of the following are true about centripetal force?

Sure! What are the following statements about centripetal force you would like to know if they are true or not?


The buoyancy of an object can be changed by changing the object's average density true or false?

The upthrust depends on the volume of object if volume is more the liquid displaced will be more and the force per unit area will increase and density is equal to mass per unit volume so by density the buoyancy.
