When an object is immersed in water, it experiences a buoyant force that counters the force of gravity. This buoyant force reduces the effective weight of the object, making it feel lighter, even though its actual mass remains the same. The weight of the object underwater will be the difference between its actual weight and the buoyant force acting on it.

What is a weight belt underwater used for?

A weight belt underwater is used to help a diver maintain neutral buoyancy while diving. By adjusting the amount of weight on the belt, divers can control their depth and buoyancy more effectively. This allows them to conserve energy and move more efficiently underwater.


Will the weight of paper and plastic change if dropped?

The mass does not change, but a thing (anything) has weight (a force) only if it is resisting gravity. That's why the astronauts are weightless in their capsule. So your answer is yes, when you drop something it has no weight.

Is this true or false the weight of a person can change but the mass stays the same?

That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.


Why can your weight change if you go to another planet but your mass will not change?

Your mass is the amount of stuff that makes up our body. It can only change if you either remove something from your body or add something to it. Your weight is the amount of force you experience from gravity. It depends on both your mass and the strength of the gravity. Since the strength of gravity varies between the planets, so will your weight.


What is a 10 letter word that has Q as the 5th letter that means 'found underwater'?

You are looking for the word subaqueous.The definition of subaqueous is "something that us formed or adapted for underwater use" and "something that is found or occurs underwater".An example of a subaqueous object is a submarine.
