Yes, but any bit of force in any horizontal direction is always exactly cancelled by
an equal-size bit of force in the opposite horizontal direction, so there's never a
NET horizontal buoyant force. It's only apparent in the upward vertical direction.

Does a bouyant force act in all directions?
The pressure of a liquid acts in all directions. The "buoyant force" is upwards; it is the net force related to the fact that at the bottom of a fluid, the pressure is higher than at the top.
Does the buoyant force act in all ways?
No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.
Why does a buoyant force act on every object in Fluid?
Buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects. Because all of the objects displace the fluid, buoyant force acts on all of them.
Do gases experience a buoyant force?
yes, all fluids wether it is gas or liquid, will experience buoyant force.
In a stationary fluid is the buoyant force exerted equally in all directions?
No, the buoyant force comes from a pressure difference between the top and the bottom of the object. the deeper you go the larger the pressure gets, that means when you are under water there is more pressure pushing you up than down(more pressure at the bottom than top), making you feel liter. the buoyant force on the sides are both the same so they cancel each other out. also, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
What term would the buoyant force of air be greatest in?
The same for all.
How is buoyancy and Archimedes principle related?
Fluid pressure is higher with increase in depth. Pressure that is increased is felt from all directions. This leads to buoyancy or the upward force on the submerged object. This is related to the Archimedes Principle that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the displaced weight of the water.
Does all liquids exert the same bouyant force?
No. Fluids with higher density produce higher buoyant force.
Where might one go to find out all about buoyant force?
The best place to get information about buoyant force is a school and ask a science instructor. Another source would be to ask Google or go to a local library.
Is a force that acts at a distance?
The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.
How does weight of an object immersed in a liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
Not at all. (The buoyancy force equals the weight if the displaced water,)
How to do a starfish float?
The buoyant force of the starfish is greater than the force of gravity. This is due to the shape and area of the starfish. It is all physics!
