A partially submerged object floats when the weight of the water it displaces is equal to its own weight, creating a balance that allows it to remain buoyant. This is known as Archimedes' principle. If the object's weight is greater than the weight of the water it displaces, it will sink, and if the object's weight is less, it will float completely above the water.
A partially submerged object floats when the buoyant force acting upward on it (from the fluid it's in) is greater than or equal to the object's weight. This balance of forces keeps the object in equilibrium and causes it to float at a particular level in the fluid.
Yes, when a hydrometer floats in water, it is buoyant. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object when it is partially or fully submerged in a fluid, in this case water. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the hydrometer.
When an object is immersed in water, it means it is completely surrounded or covered by the water.
To find the volume of something that floats, you can measure the amount of water it displaces when submerged. The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This can be calculated by measuring the change in water level before and after submerging the object.

Duckweed typically floats on the surface of water due to its buoyant nature. However, it can sometimes become partially submerged depending on factors such as water flow or the presence of other floating vegetation.

maybe or maybe not
objects that are less dense float to the top.
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
I am pretty sure its neutral buoyancy.
No, it is a floating plant, i know you might argue that the roots are underwater while the leaves are above but actually that counts as a floating plant, or else water hyacinth and water lettuce are half-submerged too. Floating plants is a plant that has it's leaves above water and it's roots dangling in water, partially submerged is leaves above water but roots in the soil below water, completely submerged is the roots in the soil below and the leaves also below water surface. -LJTG

FALSE
No. It is a partially submerged plant.
