True. The weight reading on a scale measures the downward force exerted by an object due to gravity.
Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
True. The overall net force acting on a falling leaf is due to the gravitational force pulling it downward and the air resistance pushing against it as the leaf falls through the air.
False. The weight of an object can vary depending on the gravitational force acting upon it.
False. Weight is not constant everywhere in the universe because it depends on the gravitational force acting on an object. Weight can vary depending on the gravitational pull of a celestial body.
False. The force of gravity is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. It decreases as the distance between the objects increases.
Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
False. It is an upward force, that (partly) counteracts the downward force of gravity for objects within a liquid. It is related to the resistance (to displacement) by the liquid molecules.
Downward velocity is considered a negative. This is a true statement.
