Does upthrust increase as you go deeper into water?
no because the more water cancels out the amount upthrust trying to lift it
What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
What property causes an object to float in salt waterr but sink in fresh water?
Buoyancy or upthrust . Added: Density of salted water is higher than of fresh water (e.g. sea water-3% salt: 1.024 kg/L )
How can the unit of upthrust can be derived?
Pascal is the s.i unit of upthrust
What is the reason for upthrust?
There are several answering services that also have this question or similar ones on it. From answerbag.com, the question asked was: what is upthrust? The answers were: * Upthrust is the upward force exerted on an object in a fluid. It arises as a result of the difference in pressure exerted by the fluid on the surface of the object at different depth. * Up thrust is the force that pushes objects up and makes them seem to loose weight in a fluid (note - a fluid means a liquid or gas) When you are standing on the ground gravity keeps you down but upthrust stops you from falling into the earths core. In a way upthrust makes things hard!! Because if it didn't exist solids wouldn't be solid.An objects density effects how it floats. * Density = Mass * ------- * Volume * Upthrust is also called buoyancy. It is the upward force produced on an object in a fluid (such as air or water). The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If that weight is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float in the fluid. If it is equal, it will sit suspended. If it is less, it will sink, but the object will weigh less than it would in a vacuum. Hence, it is easier to pick up a heavy object in water than in air - the amount of displaced water weighs more than the equivalent volume of air, therefore water produces a greater upthrust. In wiki answers the question asked was: = What does upthrust mean? = The answer was: Upthrust is a type of force that pushes upwards
How does the presence of salt in water affect the upthrust of the water on a ship?
Salt makes the water denser or heavier if you like. the result is that anything including ships will float more easily.
What is in the salt water why the egg float?
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?
The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.
Does upthrust increase as you go deeper into water?
no because the more water cancels out the amount upthrust trying to lift it
Why does water in winter in the North Atlantic produce more upthrust than tropical fresh water?
because it is warmer than Atlantic water and has no salt therefore less buoyancy
Why a perspex block sinks in fresh water but will float in very salty water?
salt water is denser than fresh water so it will produce more upthrust due to Archimedes principle
Why is gravity more stronger than upthrust?
a) you have terrible grammar. It is "stronger" not "more stronger" b) Stronger than upthrust for what? A rockets upthrust is stronger than gravity, though for someone jumping, we dont exert enough force upwards to escape gravity. You should really think these things through more.
How does upthrust vary liquid of different densities?
if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust
How is upthrust bad?
Upthrust, I don't understand what you mean...
Is upthrust contact force?
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
Is upthrust a scalar quantity?
upthrust is a scalar or vector
