The object sinks.
In that case, such an object will float.
Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.
It is a substance that has a low density so that it only needs to displace very little water to equal its weight and so float.
not to measure a the matter in an object 0_0 =)
They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.
If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object than the object will accelerate (assuming there are no other forces acting on the object)
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
... accelerated upward in the fluid.
In that case, such an object will float.
When the weight of any object surrounded by fluid is greater than the buoyant force on it, it sinks. (The buoyant force is just the weight of the fluid that would be in that space if the submerged object were not there.)
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
It is stationary, regardless of where it is.
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced. For a dense object, such as a coin or a bowling ball, the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force and the object will sink if you let go of it. For a less dense object, such as an ice cube or a block of balsa wood, the buoyant force is greater than the weight and you can feel it pushing the object toward the surface, resisting your attempt to hold it submerged. If you let go, the object will rise up and float.
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.
