because the upthrust force of the water acting on the stone was pushing the stone upwards meaning it was acting against the downwards weight of the stone (its weight). This meant that the downwards force was decreased and therefore felt lighter :)

If you fill a container to the brim with water, then put a stone into the water and catch the water that overflows from the container, that overflowed water will weigh less than the stone does. If you did the same thing with a cork, and used a pin to push the cork under the surface of the water, the overflowed water would weigh more than the cork.

Why do you feel 'lighter' in water than in air?
Water is denser than air, and thus has a buoyancy effect that supports your weight more. You feel lighter because you are lighter. A scale under you would reflect the difference. Bear in mind, there is a difference between "weight" and "mass". Your mass would still be the same.
Can you feel water in the air?
yes.we can feel
Why do you feel thirsty after the slimming treatments?
we feel thirsty after the slimming treatmets because our body lose a lot of water in form of sweat so our body need to regain water so we feel thirsty
How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink in the water?
the buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes the object feel lighter
When you put one hand in hot water and one in cold water then both in tap water what do you expect to feel why?
It depends on the temperature of the tap water.
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.
Why does a swimmer feel lighter while swimming?
You feel lighter in water because water is heavier then air and nearly all of you is heavier then air, however when you get into the water parts of you want to float to the surface putting you under the impression that you are lighter.
If you way 350 lbs on land why do you feel so much lighter in water?
If you weigh 350 lbs on land you feel lighter in the water because the density of water is greater than the density of air.
Why mug full of water feel lighter inside water?
this is due to buoyancy or upthrust.
Salt water pool feel heavier after leaving water?
Whether you were in a saltwater pool or a fresh water pool you will feel heavier when leaving the water because while in the water you Will be relatively lighter.
Would you weigh lighter or heavier in water?
You would feel lighter since your body pushes aside a certain volume of water. Weigh this water and this value is taken from you weight whilst floating in water giving you an upthrust. This is Archimedes Principle.
Do you feel heavier or lighter while climing mount Everest?
I think you feel lighter as you are higher off the ground and when you are on the moon you feel much lighter than on Earth
What is the texture of water?
Water does not have a texture. Texture is the look and feel of something, so water does not have one. A texture example would be the smooth surface of a stone.
What is a stone's mass in water?
The mass of a stone in water is the mass of the stone outside water. The mass of an object is always its mass. (This assumes we are not discussing the theory of relativity.) On Earth, or the Moon or in water or not, mass is mass. What might be relevant, however, is the weight of a stone in water compared to the weight of a stone outside the water. Weight and mass are different. If you hold a stone in water and hold the same stone in air, you can feel a difference in the force you must apply to support the stone. In water, the stone feels a buoyant force equal the the weight of the water displaced. That is Archimedes principle. There is a difference in the apparent weight of a stone in water and a stone out of water equal to the eight of the water displaced.
Would an Earthling feel heavier lighter or about the same weight on the surface of Mars?
lighter
Why does a person feel lighter when swimming in a pool than when standing on the ground?
it is because of the bouyant force or upthrust
Would a earthling feel heavier or lighter on the surface of Venus?
sure if you want to be lighter or heviar
