Actually it does. That's the whole point of the "buoyant force".
Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.
Upthrust, also known as buoyancy force, acts opposite to the direction of gravity. It pushes objects upward when they are submerged in a fluid, such as water.
The upward force of water or air is called buoyant force. This force acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity and helps objects float or rise in a fluid medium.
The force that acts in an upward direction to counteract the force of gravity and make an object feel lighter is called buoyancy. This force is exerted by a fluid (such as air or water) on an object immersed in it, pushing the object in the opposite direction of gravity.
Upward gravitational force is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity. It is the force exerted by a surface to support an object and prevent it from falling due to gravity.
The two forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid are buoyant force (upward direction) and gravitational force (downward direction). Buoyant force acts in the opposite direction to the gravitational force.
Buoyant force. It is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object submerged in it, which acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity.
The force that opposes a downward force on an object would be called the "normal force". For example, it is as a result of the normal force that people do not fall though the ground the same way that they fall through the air.
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.
It's a vector, and I believe it always points upward.
Buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid (such as water or air) on an object submerged in it. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object and acts in the opposite direction to gravity, helping objects float.
