There is a force called upthrust coming from the water. this pushes objects upwards, making the resultant force lower, which means they seem to weigh less.

Why does an object feel lighter underwater than when its in the air?

An object feels lighter underwater because of the buoyant force exerted on it by the water. This force counteracts the gravitational force acting on the object, making it feel lighter.


Why is an object underwater feel lighter than when it is in the air?

An object underwater feels lighter than in the air due to buoyancy. When an object is submerged in a fluid like water, it experiences an upward force known as buoyant force, which counters the force of gravity. This buoyant force effectively reduces the weight of the object, making it feel lighter.

Explain why an object under water feels lighter when its in the air?

When an object is underwater, it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. This buoyant force pushes the object upward, effectively reducing its weight. When the object is above the water, it is no longer displacing water, so the buoyant force is removed, making it feel heavier.


What heavier object sinks but the lighter object floats but the heavier object can be a thousand times larger than the lighter object?

Not a clue. Please Tell Me The Answer ?? :)


Why is a bucket of water lighter under water?

It actually isn't lighter, the mass of the bucket itself remains the same. However the buoyancy of the object, and the friction of water being higher than air, all work together counteract gravity. This makes the bucket appear to be lighter.


Are you on the moon heaver of lighter than on the moon?

An object is lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and thus lighter than the Earth


Why does an object seem lighter in the water than in air?

Water constantly pushes upwards against an object making it seem lighter.


Why is the heavier object harder to accelerate than the lighter one?

Inertia


Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with large mass than an object with a small mass?

Because it is lighter.


Why is an object submerged underwater heavier than an object suspended in air?

It isn't; both have the same mass regardless of the material surrounding them. Infact, the opposite appears true. The object suspended in water will seem lighter than the object suspended in air, because the density of water is greater than the density of air, which means objects will be more buoyant in water.If the statement in your question was true, everything would float in mid-air.


Why is it easier to lift an object underwater than it is to lift an object on land?

It is easier to lift an object underwater because the buoyant force exerted by the water helps support the weight of the object. On land, you have to lift the object against the force of gravity without any additional support.
