What force acts against the gravitational force that is in the upward direction?
Vish444
In physics, there is a force that is called the normal force. This is the force that comes from a surface pushing up on an object. If the surface is level, the normal force is the exact same magnitude as the gravitational force, but straight up. The normal force is always perpendicular to a surface. Hope this helps!

How could you determine buoyant force?
The bouyant force acts in an upward direction against gravity. It keeps things from sinking.
What is upward gravitational force?
A dream, a fantasy (so far).
What is and upward force of air against a moving object?
The upward force is drag.
What is the force that acts in an upward direction against the force of gravity so it makes an object lighter?
That force is refereed to as the normal forces. it only applies to objects on a solid surface.
Which direction does a buoyant force act in?
A buoyant force is produced when an object is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest .
Buoyancy is a force that always acts in an?
Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.
What is the property of water to move upward against the gravitational force?

How could you determine buoyant force?

Why does buoyant force act upward?
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.
Why is going downstairs negative work?
As you walk down the stairs, you apply a force to keep yourself from falling down the stairs. The force is in the upward direction, but your movement is in the downward direction. If the force is in the opposite direction of motion, work done by the force is negative. Gravitational force, because it pulls down, does positive work.
How does a fluid encased bubble 'know' which direction is Up?
If the fluid is not turbulent, then the only forces acting on the bubble are vertical ... the downward gravitational force and the upward buoyant force. Whichever force is the stronger one defines the direction in which the bubble must move.
