No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish
when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).
If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment
is equal to the object's weight.
Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
What else can I help you with?
Does An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?
No, an object's buoyant force and weight are not the same thing. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object downward, while buoyant force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it that opposes the object's weight. buoyant force can act in the opposite direction of weight if the object is floating in a fluid.
Does an objects buoyant and weight mean the same thing?
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
An object's buoyant force and weight aren't the same thing?
That's correct. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, counteracting the object's weight. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on the object. When an object is floating in a fluid, the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, allowing it to stay afloat.
What makes thing buoyant?
Objects float or are buoyant when the buoyant force acting upward on them is greater than the force of gravity pulling them downward. This is typically achieved when the object is less dense than the fluid it is submerged in, displacing an amount of fluid equal to its own weight. The buoyant force is a result of the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object, pushing it upwards.
True or false an object buoyant force and weight arent the same thing?
Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
An object in a liquid has a buoyant force and is lifted by the weight of the liquid which it displaces?
Not all objects float. A given object may or may not weigh more than the weight of the liquid which it displaces. So while there is a lifting force, it is not necessarily true that the object in question will actually be lifted by that force. It may still sink.APEX :An object's buoyant force and weight aren't the same thing* True !- Amburr Minajj !However, it is still true that when an object does float, it is being lifted by the weight of the liquid that it displaces, and that's what the question asks, Amburr Minajj. I answered the question, and you ostentatiously crossed out my answer and replaced it with an observation that fails to answer the question. This is not an improvement. -- David6023
How does something float?
For a certain thing to float, it depends on the mass, weight and the size, . The lighter and smaller a thing is, the more its likely to float. The heavier an object, the more it is likely to stay on the ground. An object can float(or sink) in water, or even in the sky.
On a force diagram are gravity and weight the same thing?
When constructing a force diagram on an object one of the first vectors you should draw is the weight vector. Its always there (because everything has weight) and it always points toward the earth. Weight is the force that the earth attracts on objects due to gravity. So gravity is not really a force and is not part of a force diagram. It is simply an explanation of where the weight force comes from.
Are weight and normal force action-reaction pairs?
No, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass. Normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. They are not action-reaction pairs as they act on different objects - weight acts on the object itself, while the normal force acts on the surface supporting the object.
Why do ship sink deeper in fresh water than in salt water?
Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.
Why do ships sink deeper in fresh water than in salt water?
Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.
How does an objects volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
