How is it possible for an object to sink even though a buoyant force is pushing on it?
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid in which it is placed; if it is denser, it will sink. In terms of forces, if the force of gravity (downward) is greater than the buoyant force (upward), then of course the net force will be downward, and the object will sink.

How does the weight of something change underwater?
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 force makes a straw and clay ball float even though there is a force pulling them down?
The force that makes a straw and clay ball float is called buoyancy. This force is caused by the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object, pushing it upwards in a liquid like water. This buoyant force is able to counteract the force of gravity, causing the objects to float.
Does buoyant force change with depth?
No, buoyant force does not change with depth as it depends on the density of the fluid and the volume of the object displacing the fluid. However, the pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above, causing objects to experience higher pressure as they sink deeper.
Explain how it is possible to do no work on an object even though you have applied a force to that object.?
It is possible to do no work on an object if the force applied is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. In such a case, the force may cause the object to change direction but not cause any displacement in the direction of the force. Work is only done when there is displacement in the direction of the force applied.
What is a force that acts in an upward direction that opposes the downward force of an object?
The force that opposes a downward force on an object would be called the "normal force". For example, it is as a result of the normal force that people do not fall though the ground the same way that they fall through the air.
If you are buoyant you can?
Not sure what you are looking for. This is Archimede's principle though, A buoyant object experiences an upward force, and at the same time displaced the medium in which it is placed. Is that what you were looking for? Basically...you float

Why is there no verb to like in Spanish?
Though it is not possible to say: I like, in Spanish, the equivalent would be: me gusta which literally means: (xxx) is pleasing to me. The emphasis is on the object liked, and not on the person 'liking' the object.
Why does Ian float on water even though gravity is pulling him down?
Ian floats on water due to the buoyant force acting on him. This force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by Ian's body, pushing him upwards and allowing him to float. The buoyant force counteracts the force of gravity, allowing Ian to stay afloat.

What is the name of the force that pushes things up in water?
The force that will push upwards on an object put in water is called buoyancy. Archimedes discovered and accurately described the specifics of this phenomenon over 2000 years ago, and Archimedes' principle is still used today.
Is depth in water a negative number?
If measuring from sea level, yes. Technically, though, it is accurate to state depth as a negative number, but unless you have been specifically told, it shouldn't matter whether you do or not. The only exception I can think of is if you are drawing a parabola that shows the depth of a buoyant object over a period of time after being thrown or dropped in. It looks a lot neater to show a positive parabola, as a negative parabola could imply that a non-buoyant object was thrown from the bottom of a body of water. I hope this helped, and ignore the previous paragraph if you want.
Is 12 beers a day bad?
no. 18 or more daily and you're pushing it though.
How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
