Is buoyancy a contact force?
Contact forces are forces that act at a point of contact between two objects. Buoyant force is an example of a contact force.
What is the relationship between buoyant force and gravity?
buoyant force is always or equal to the force exerted by gravity. that's why an object floats.
Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What is an buoyant force?
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
The contact force that acts on objects in a liquid or gas and allows objects to float is called density or buoyancy?
buoyant force
What happens if the buoyant force decreases?
As buoyant force decreases then the body starts sinking down.
What are the factors of buoyant force?
The buoyant force depends on the volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid.
Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
the 'buoyant' force
What is the relationship between density of a liquid and the buoyant force exerted on the mass?
buoyant force = density of the liquid*Volume*gravity. so the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of a liquid.
What is the effect of buoyant force on the weight of a body which is emerged in a liquid?
Buoyant force reduces the weight of the body
What are the 2 factors of buoyant force?
The buoyant force depends on the volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid.
