Are objects lighter in water than in air?
They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.
Why does the weight of an object change in water?
because water weighs more than air, and there for, the weight difference between the water + object is less, making it seem as if the object has a smaller mass. Eg. Air = 0 (because we cant weigh it, so we set it as neutral) Water = 25 Object = 100 Object out of water = 100 Object in water = 75. Making it seem lighter
What is the true about an object that floats in water?
It is lighter than water
What is an object that floats in water?
something lighter than water
Why do objects seem to be lighter in water than in air?
Objects are more buoyant in water than in air.
Why an object underwater feels lighter than it is in air?
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.
Explain why an object under water feels lighter when its in the air?
Objects underwater feel lighter than it is in the air because water density is greater then air density.
What is dence?
Dense means how much water and object will take up when placed in water.
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.
Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?
it is lighter than water.
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 ?? :)
