How does buoyancy affect floating and sinking objects?
Buoyancy affects floating and sinking objects by it allowing it to sink or float. Buoyancy is an upward force that allows something to float on water so yeahs... yupp >___________<
What is the upward force of water or air that keeps an object afloat?
The upward force provided by water is called the buoyant force. Also known as the buoyancy force. Because of buoyant force, objects seem lighter in water.
What 2 forces affect you when you float how do these 2 forces compare in size?
There is the downward force of gravity, pushing you towards the bottom of the body of water. The second force is buoyant force which keeps you afloat. Since you aren't sinking then the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity.
What do sinking objects have in common?
They all have densities greater than the density of the fluid in which they are sinking. The mass of the displaced liquid is less than the mass of the sinking body.
What is the force that opposes objects through water?
Friction with the water.

Which of these objects will not have enough buoyant force exerted on it to keep it from sinking when placed in Erik's bathtub full of water?
A glass marble
Why buoyancy is called the anti gravity force?
This answer may not be too technical but you will get the general concept. Generally buoyant force is the force which help the objects to float in fluids which includes water and air without sinking. From this its clear that it acts in the direction opposite to the gravity force to make the object float. Gravity is the force that keeps things gown on earth Thus its called the anti gravity force.

How do pond skaters stay afloat?
The water tension keeps them from sinking

What is the upward force that water exerts on objects?
buoyancy is the upward force that water exerts on an object. :)
What force keeps ice floating in water?
the density
What force keeps the water move downhill?
Gravity
How buoyant force is influenced by gravity?
Buoyant force is entirely the result of gravity. In a gravitational field, we find denser objects sinking in whatever medium they are in (usually air or water) and less dense objects, if the density is lower than the surrounding medium, floating. In the absence of a gravitational field (or in free fall, which is equivalent) everything floats.
