When an object is submerged will it weigh less or have less mass?

Objects under water seem to weigh less but they have the same mass as they would out of water.


Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?

It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."

How could you determine your buoyant force acting on you when you are floating in water?

Use Archimedes' Principle: the buoyancy force of a submerged (or partially submerged) object is the weight of the volume of water that the object displaces. In other words, find the volume of the object that is under water, and multiply that by the density of water (1000 kg/cubic meter) and gravity (9.8 meter/sec/sec).


Does photosynthesis occur underwater?

Yes. Even the plants and algae that are completely under the surface are exposed to enough sunlight to conduct photosynthesis. Shoreline plants and partially submerged plants are included in water biomes, and these, of course, photosynthesize.
