No, lead is not buoyant. It is incredibly dense, which makes it very heavy, and not able to float.

Is the buoyant force of water on lead greater than that on iron?

That depends on the amounts, of course - what exactly you are comparing. The buoyant force depends on the volume. For a certain volume of lead, there will be the same buoyant force as for the same volume of iron. On the other hand, since lead has a greater density, the buoyant force on a certain amount of MASS of lead will be less, compared to iron, since the same mass of lead will use up less volume.


How can matter be more or less buoyant?

it can be more or less buoyant be having more or less mass.i.e. lead will sink in water because the mass is higher and wood will float because it is lighter. the more mass the less buoyant, less mass means more buoyant.


Does a submerged piece of lead have more buoyant force than a floating piece of styro foam?

Yes


A block of styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water The buoyant force is greatest on the?

The block of Styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water. The buoyant force is greatest on the lead. Compared to an empty ship, the same ship loaded with Styrofoam will float lower in the water.


What is an example of a buoyant force increasing with more volume even if same weight?

A balloon attached to a lead weight.


Which has a greater buoyant force a huge lead zepplin or a small helium filled balloon?

a small helium balloon :) i think.... i dont actually know the answer i just know that a small helium balloon will be very buoyant :)


Two solid blocks of identical size are submerged in water One block is lead and the other is aluminum Upon which is the buoyant force greater?

I would say the the lead displaces less water. Think about the sizes and densities. If you have a block of lead and a block of aluminum (weighing the same), common sense tells you, the lead block is going to be a lot smaller due to his great density. Therefore, smaller block displaces less water

Why is sodium chloride buoyant?

Sodium chloride isn't buoyant.


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.


What is uranium's buoyant?

Uranium is not buoyant; uranium is a very dense metal.
