If the ability to float did not exist many things that depend on flotation to work would not. If ice didn't float, we would all die. For more details on the last sentence, I'm sure your science teacher will know.

∙ 9y agoThe buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the liquid or gas displaced by the object.
If you fully submerge a one cubic foot object in a liquid with a density of 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, which is the approximate density of fresh water, a buoyant force of 62.4 pounds will be acting on the object in an upward direction. If the object weighs more than 62.4 pounds it will sink. If it weighs less than 62.4 pounds it will sink into the liquid only until it displaces the volume of liquid whose weight equals the weight of the object. So if the object weighs 6.24 pounds, only one tenth of it will be below the surface. If you fully submerge a one cubic foot object in a liquid with a density of 64.1 pounds per cubic foot, which is the approximate density of ocean water near the surface, a buoyant force of 64.1 pounds will be acting on the object in an upward direction.

Is buoyancy a physical or chemical change?
chemical change
How does buoyancy contribute to different types of solution?
boodie benefits
Does soap affect the buoyancy of water?
If it alters its density, yes.
How does the amount of salt added to the water affect buoyancy?
density
What is another word to describe an object with neutral buoyancy?
It is average density.
Is buoyancy important in the manufacturing of chocolate?
No, it's Viscosity that's important. Hope that answered your question :)
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
Why is buoyancy important on a submarine?
because its a boat, without buoyancy it would sink
How important is the presence of air bladder in Pisces?
air bladder is present which regulates buoyancy
Which of the two forces are important in floating bodies?
water pressure which is effected by gravitational force and buoyancy
Why is Archimedes' principle important?
Archimedes' principle is important because it explains how objects float or sink in fluids. It helps in determining the buoyant force acting on objects submerged in a fluid, which is crucial in designing ships, submarines, and other floating structures. The principle also has applications in a wide range of fields, including engineering, physics, and biology.
What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?
Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Does freshwater have buoyancy?
Yes, all fluids have buoyancy.
Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.
Could you find a scientific sentence with the word buoyancy?
We are merely testing the buoyancy of several types of ping pong balls.
When was buoyancy found?
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
