Objects underwater feel lighter than it is in the air because water density is greater then air density.

Why does a heavy object feel lighter when under water?

A heavy object feels lighter in water because the upward buoyant force exerted by the water opposes the force of gravity acting on the object. This buoyant force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter.


Why does an object seem lighter in water?

because of the upthrust in water it weighs less and floats. An object in water will recieve an upthrust equal to the weight of water it displaces . submarines when neutrally ballasted could hang by the periscope that is just under the water raise periscope sub sinks down as water covers periscope starts to rise again, Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.


When is an object considered to be in free fall and can you explain the concept of free fall in physics?

An object is considered to be in free fall when it is only under the influence of gravity, with no other forces acting on it. In physics, free fall is the motion of an object solely under the influence of gravity, with no air resistance or other forces affecting its motion. This results in the object accelerating towards the Earth at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s2, regardless of its mass.


Why is a bucket of water lighter under water?

It actually isn't lighter, the mass of the bucket itself remains the same. However the buoyancy of the object, and the friction of water being higher than air, all work together counteract gravity. This makes the bucket appear to be lighter.


Give a example of an object under compression?

A spring that is being squeezed or compressed is an example of an object under compression.

Why can't we measure the volume of an object if it floats on water?

Simply because the volume of water displaced is not equal to the actual volume of the object. If an object is lighter than water, you have to find another method of determining its volume. ------------------------------------ alternatively you could use a very thin pin to push the object under the water. However, the volume of the submerged portion of the pin would need to be suvtracted from the volume of the object measured.

Where is the fuse for the in-dash cigarette lighter in a 2004 pathfinder The one for the power accessory between the seats is in the fuse panel under the hood but this does not help the in-dash one?

You may have a bad ground at the lighter itself. Unhook the lighter and check for power at the back of lighter. You can replace the entire assembly for under 5.00.
