What is 1 force that buoyant works against?

the force of gravity


Is a potential energy associated with the buoyant force?

Yes, potential energy is associated with the buoyant force. When an object is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force due to buoyancy. This potential energy is stored as the object moves against the buoyant force.


How do sea animal use buoyant force?

they use it to stay underwater without going up out of the water. They have adapted to 'float' in the water against the buoyant force.


Does the buoyant force act in all ways?

No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.


How does the buoyant force affect a submerged object?

If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.


What force acts against upthrust?

The force that acts against upthrust is gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward, opposing the buoyant force provided by upthrust.


When does buoyant force become maximum?

The buoyant force is at its maximum when the object is fully submerged in a fluid, pushing against the maximum amount of fluid with its volume. This is because the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, and displacing the maximum amount of fluid results in the maximum buoyant force.


Is there a buoyant force acting on you if there is why are you not buoyant up by this force?

Yes, there is a buoyant force acting on you when you are submerged in a fluid. However, whether you float or sink depends on the relationship between the buoyant force and your weight. If the buoyant force is greater than your weight, you will float; if it is less, you will sink.


How could you determine buoyant force?

Buoyant force can be determined by calculating the weight of the fluid displaced by an object submerged in it. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces, and it acts in the opposite direction to gravity. This force helps objects float in a fluid.


What is the force that acts against gravity?

The force that acts against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface supporting an object, pushing upwards to prevent the object from falling due to gravity.


Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?

Buoyant force acts upward on an object submerged in water due to the difference in pressure exerted by the water at different depths. The pressure at greater depths is higher, leading to a greater force pushing upward on the object, thus creating the buoyant force that opposes gravity. This buoyant force helps objects float or experience less weight when submerged in water.


Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?

Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
