A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat does the water level in the pool move upward?
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level
rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board.
The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as
much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume
that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and
the surface level in the pool must rise.
What else can I help you with?
Why would some of the material in subducted plates rise to the surface in volcanoes?
The material is lighter and more buoyant and floats upward.
Why does a stone sink while a boat floats?
A stone sinks because it is denser than water, so the upward buoyant force is not enough to support its weight. A boat floats because its shape and materials displace enough water to create an upward buoyant force that is greater than its weight, allowing it to stay afloat on the water.
Give an example bouoyancy?
Upward push on an object by the liquid is in (to Float).
When a hydrometer floats in water is it buoyant?
Yes, when a hydrometer floats in water, it is buoyant. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object when it is partially or fully submerged in a fluid, in this case water. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the hydrometer.
How does the sphere's buoyant force relate to its weight when it floats?
When a sphere floats, its weight is equal to the buoyant force acting on it. This is because the sphere reaches an equilibrium where the upward buoyant force from the fluid equals the downward force of gravity acting on the sphere.
What is the definition of a supine float in swimming?
a floating position on one's back with arms extended out to the sides and face upward.
Is floating bubbles are example of chemical change?
no, not really, the reason the bubble floats is because of the hot air slowly moving upward. there are no chemical processes going on
When an object floats the two forces are?
When an object floats, the two forces acting on it are the downward force due to gravity and the upward buoyant force exerted by the fluid it is immersed in. These forces balance each other out, allowing the object to remain at a constant depth in the fluid.
Why does a balloon float in the air?
It floats in the air because of the helium inside. Helium's density is less than that of oxygen, same reason fat floats in water.
Explain why steel sinks and cork floats?
Steel sinks because it is denser than water, so the upward buoyant force acting on it is less than its weight, causing it to sink. Cork floats because it is less dense than water, so the upward buoyant force acting on it is greater than its weight, allowing it to float.
What is something buoyant?
A beach ball is buoyant because it floats on water due to its low density and ability to displace water, creating an upward force known as buoyancy.
Why magma floats to the surface?
Magma floats to the surface because it is less dense than the surrounding rock. As magma rises, its buoyancy overcomes the pressure of the rock above it, allowing it to flow upward towards the surface. The expansion of gases within the magma also helps to propel it upward.
