Well, isn't that just a happy little mystery! When the driver picks up the stone underwater, it feels lighter because of the buoyant force pushing up on it. But when they bring it to the surface, the buoyant force decreases, making the stone feel heavier. It's all about how water and air interact with objects, creating a delightful surprise for our curious driver.

What geological principle explains how continental crust rests on oceanic crust?
The principle of isostasy explains how the less dense continental crust "floats" higher on the denser, heavier oceanic crust. This is similar to how icebergs float higher in water. The balance between the two crust types is maintained by the buoyant force exerted by the mantle beneath them.
Which is heavier seawater or freshwater?
Salt water is heavier, as it has salt disovled in it. This can be observed in some underwater caves.
What is the principle of subduction?
The density of one tectonic plate is heavier than the other. The lighter plate 'floats on top of the heavier one, which is slowly forced down into the earth.
What kind of fluid will obey Bernoulli's principle?
liquids and gas that are visible and heavier than atmosphere. :3
Achimedes ' principle?
Archimedes principle states that any immersed body in a fluid will experience a buoyant force which is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by it and always acts upwards through the centroid of displaced volume. Note that if the object weight less than the wieght of water it displaces, it will float. If it is heavier than the weight of water it displaces, it will sink but its apparent weight in water will be its in-air weight minus the weight of the water it displaces.
What theory explains why the Earth is composed of three layers of varying density?
When Earth was molten, heavier materials sank to the center as lighter materials rose to the surface
Which theory below explains why the Earth is composed of three layers of varying density?
When Earth was molten, heavier materials sank to the center as lighter materials rose to the surface.
Two unequal masses are attached to the ends of a solid rod. which mass is nearest to the Centre of Mass lighter or heavier?
The heavier mass will be nearest to the center of mass. The concept behind this is related to the one that explains the center of gravity. The center of mass and the center of gravity are the same.
Why are munitio siti more expensive than the munitio billits?
This explains the difference in their products. Looks like one is aluminum and the other is titanium coated, better sound and heavier unit.
What gets heavier in an electrochemical cell?
The cathode
Does an object become heavier when placed in water?
No. It becomes lighter as the water exerts an upthrust on the object according to the archmides' principle. Thus the reaction force ( or the weight ) of an object becomes less.
Does heavier objects displace more water?
Yes, heavier objects displace more water because they have more mass, which requires a greater volume of water to provide the buoyant force needed to support the object's weight. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the displaced water, so a heavier object displaces more water to counteract its weight.
