Do objects weigh more in the air or in water?

Objects weigh less in water than in the air because water exerts an upward buoyant force on the object, partially offsetting its weight. This is known as buoyancy, which makes objects feel lighter in water than in air.


How much more does an object weigh after it has been submerged out of water?

Submerged "out-of-water". That is not possible. It is either submerged or it is out of water. Even when an object is submerger or partically submerged it will not weigh less. The physical characteristics (weight) of the object cannot be changed. The object, when placed in water will displace a certain amount of water and the object will float if the weight of the displaced water is more that the weight of the object. The object will then sink if it weighted more that the weight of the water it displaces. That said, the actual weight of the object doesnt change but if a scale were attached to it while hanging in air, it would read greater that when the object is floating or submerged in water.


Where is the weight of an object maximum in air or Water or Vacuum or oil?

The weight of an object is maximum in air, as air offers more resistance to the weight of the object compared to water, vacuum, or oil.


Object Weights more in air water vacuum or hydrogen?

An object weighs less in air compared to its weight in vacuum or hydrogen, as air exerts a buoyant force on the object. The object weighs more in water than in air due to water's buoyant force. In a vacuum or hydrogen, where there is no buoyant force, the object's weight would be the same as its actual weight.


Why you weigh more in the air than in the water?

You would weigh more in the air than in the water due to the buoyant force acting against your weight in the water. In water, your body experiences an upward force opposing gravity, causing you to feel lighter. This effect makes you weigh less in water compared to being in the air.

Does a hot or cold object weigh more?

wow what a question!! well i don't know but hot air rises so cold would probably weigh more..

When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?

-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.


Why does the weight of an object change in water?

because water weighs more than air, and there for, the weight difference between the water + object is less, making it seem as if the object has a smaller mass. Eg. Air = 0 (because we cant weigh it, so we set it as neutral) Water = 25 Object = 100 Object out of water = 100 Object in water = 75. Making it seem lighter


Why fish weigh less in water than in air?

Fish weigh less in water because of buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that counteracts the weight of the object immersed in it. The water exerts an upward force on the fish that partially cancels out the downward force of gravity, making the fish weigh less in water than in air.


A stone weighs 9Newtons in air what does it weigh in water?

Need more info. Either the volume or density of the stone. From the info given all we know is that it will weigh less in the water than in the air.


Does a rock weigh more in water?

No, a rock does not weigh more in water. When submerged in water, the rock displaces an amount of water equal to its own volume, leading to a buoyant force that reduces its apparent weight. So, the rock will weigh less in water compared to in air.


What causes an object to weigh less when submerged in water?

An object seems to weigh less when submerged in water because the buoyancy of the water is greater than that of air, causing a force to be applied to the object, reducing the apparent net force that is required to support the object. However, gravity is gravity, and the object still weighs the same. Its just that there is an additional force acting on the object in opposition to the force of gravity. If you were to weigh a volume of water, and then weigh it again with an object in it, you would discover that the total weight did, in fact, increase by the weight of the object. Note that this is all independent of the object's mass. Mass and weight are two different things, and they should not be confused. The object's mass also does not change just because it is submerged in water. To illustrate this last point, an object in outer space does not weigh anything, because the net force of gravity is zero, but the object still has mass, and it requires the same force it always did in order to accelerate it at a certain rate.
