There is a force called upthrust coming from the water. this pushes objects upwards, making the resultant force lower, which means they seem to weigh less.

equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

Explain why an object under water feels lighter when its in the air?
Objects underwater feel lighter than it is in the air because water density is greater then air density.

Why would one object move faster then than another?
BECAUSE THE OBJECT MIGHT BE LIGHTER THAN THE OTHER

It is lighter than water
What is an object that floats in water?
something lighter than water

What heavier object sinks but the lighter object floats but the heavier object can be a thousand times larger than the lighter object?
Not a clue. Please Tell Me The Answer ?? :)
Are you on the moon heaver of lighter than on the moon?
An object is lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and thus lighter than the Earth
Why does an object seem lighter in the water than in air?
Water constantly pushes upwards against an object making it seem lighter.
Why would one object move faster then than another?
BECAUSE THE OBJECT MIGHT BE LIGHTER THAN THE OTHER
What is an object that floats in water?
something lighter than water
What is the true about an object that floats in water?
It is lighter than water
Why is the heavier object harder to accelerate than the lighter one?
Inertia
Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with large mass than an object with a small mass?
Because it is lighter.
Why is an object submerged underwater heavier than an object suspended in air?
It isn't; both have the same mass regardless of the material surrounding them. Infact, the opposite appears true. The object suspended in water will seem lighter than the object suspended in air, because the density of water is greater than the density of air, which means objects will be more buoyant in water.If the statement in your question was true, everything would float in mid-air.
How do you know an object is a metal?
it usuly feels colder than plastic
