What happens when the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force?
The object sinks.
What does Archimedes principle?
Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?
Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.
Which principle states that an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces?
Archimedes principle.
What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?
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)
What force cause objects to float when the weight is greater than a buoyant force?
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
What happens when the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force?
The object sinks.
What is the effect of buoyant force on the ability an object has to float?
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.
When the buoyant force on an object is greater than its weight the object is?
... accelerated upward in the fluid.
When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
Will a submarine sink or float when its weight is greater than the upthrust acting on it?
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.)
WHAT IS the relation between the Buoyant force and the weight of an object floating in a liquid?
When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it?
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces. This is called Archimedes' principle, which states that "The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."
Why does the buoyant force keep a ship floating?
The buoyant force on a ship (or any object in a liquid) is equal to the weight of the water the displaces. If this force is greater than the weight of the ship, it will stay afloat.
Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
