No. Weight = mass * g, where g = 9.8 m/s2, a constant. The mass of an object does not change unless it undergoes a chemical or nuclear change. Hence its weight is a constant too.

However, the "apparent weight" changes because the inherent weight is now compensated somewhat by buoyancy, acting in the opposite direction as gravity. The weight of a piece of wood in water will be completely opposed by the buoyancy and so it floats. The weight of a concrete block cannot be completely compensated by buoyancy and so it sinks.

What is the weight of water per foot and how does it impact the buoyancy of objects in water?

The weight of water is about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. This weight affects the buoyancy of objects in water because objects that are less dense than water will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. The weight of water per foot plays a key role in determining whether an object will float or sink in water.


Why do objects that float take out more water than objects that sink?

Objects that float displace more water than objects that sink because the buoyant force acting on the floating object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. This means the weight of the floating object is less than the weight of the water it displaces, causing it to rise and push out more water. Objects that sink do not displace as much water because their weight is greater than the weight of the water they could displace.


Objects that float on water are what in water?

Objects that float on water are less dense than water, which allows them to displace enough water to support their weight and remain on the surface. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by the water is greater than the downward force of the object's weight.


What is the upward force that water exerts on objects?

buoyancy is the upward force that water exerts on an object. :)


How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?

If an object has a lower density than water, it will float. If an object has a higher density than water, it will sink. This is because objects will displace an amount of water equal to their own weight, and if the weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float.

Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?

yes

What is the scientific definition of deficit?

It is weight changes depending on gravity. Weight can change. The pull of gravity determines an objects weight.


Dose the weight of water change if you add a fish?

If there is no overflow of water, then the container's over-all weight goes up by the weight of the fish. The weight of the water itself doesn't change.


How do different sized and weight objects settle in water?

Objects which are less dense than water will float. Objects denser than water will float or sink depending on the volume of water that they displace and that will depend on their shape.


Does weight change when water freezes?

No. The mass doesn't change, so the weight doesn't change either.


When objects float they displace an amount of water equal to their?

equal to their weight


Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?

It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.


What objects can you change from liquid to solid by freezing?

Water.


Objects sink in water because they are heavy true of false?

False. Objects sink in water when the buoyant force acting on them is less than the weight of the object. This can happen if the object is denser than water or if it is not shaped in a way to displace enough water to counteract its weight.
