Generally, it is not the weight so much as the amount of fat to lean muscle and bone. The more fat a person has the more buoyant they are. You could a have 300-pound weightlifter who is solid muscle (very dense) and a 300-pound elderly man who has little lean muscle and lots of fat. The elderly man would be more buoyant even though their weight is the same.

What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
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,)
Is the buoyancy force or the weight of the block larger?
it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger
Does a ships buoyancy balance its weight?
No.
How old do you have to be to use weight belts for divers?
Age is not a determining factor. The weight belt should have enoughweight on it to achieve neutral buoyancy for that person and equipment worn.
How negative buoyancy affect a blimp?
Negative buoyancy is when the gravitational pull on a diver is greater than the buoyant force. This means that the diver is being pulled downward, and that the buoyant force is doing negative work (work that is in the opposite direction of the displacement). Positive buoyancy is the opposite situation in which the buoyant force of the diver is greater than the gravitational pull, which makes the diver move upwards. Usually, a person's weight is slightly more than the weight of the displaced amount of water. For example, a person who weighs 80kg displaces 79dm2 of water, which weighs 79kg, that is, he has about 1kg of negative buoyancy. As for your question whether this negative buoancy is a unique feature for black people, the answer is no. it is related to the person's density.
Does the volume of the string affect your buoyancy values?
no
Does water weigh more as a solid a liquid or a gas?
If you are talking about the exact same quantity of molecules, these changes don't affect the weight. Things like density and buoyancy may change, but not the weight.
How do genes affect a person's weight?
There are many genes that could affect a person's weight. This is accomplished by suppressing certain fat burning genes in the body.
How much weight can a life jacket hold?
Life jackets that meet safety standards have at least a minimum of 22 pounds buoyancy for adults, and 11 pounds buoyancy for children. A life jacket that has 22 pounds buoyancy or more can support at least 22 pounds of dense material. Since the amount of water in a human body has no weight in water, it follows that a life jacket with 22 pounds of buoyancy can support a 200 pound person.
What two forces affect you when you float?
Gravity and buoyancy.
How does buoyancy affect marine organisms?
