    Yes, buoyant force can cause objects to float or sink. This force, exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, acts upward against the force of gravity. If the buoyant force is greater than the object’s weight, the object will float. Conversely, if the buoyant force is less than the object’s weight, the object will sink. The key factor determining this is the object’s density relative to the fluid’s density. Objects less dense than the fluid float, while those more dense sink.

  2. Buoyant force acts on objects in both liquids and gases, depending on fluid displacement. In liquids, it is often stronger due to higher fluid density, making objects more likely to float. In gases, the lower density results in a weaker buoyant force, causing fewer objects to float unless they are vRead more

    Buoyant force acts on objects in both liquids and gases, depending on fluid displacement. In liquids, it is often stronger due to higher fluid density, making objects more likely to float. In gases, the lower density results in a weaker buoyant force, causing fewer objects to float unless they are very light.

  3. When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This force can cause the body to float, sink, or remain suspended, depending on the body's density relative to the fluid.

  4. No, all bodies in a given fluid do not experience the same buoyant force. The buoyant force depends on the volume of the body that displaces the fluid. Larger volumes displace more fluid, resulting in a greater buoyant force. Thus, bodies with different volumes will experience different buoyant forcRead more

    No, all bodies in a given fluid do not experience the same buoyant force. The buoyant force depends on the volume of the body that displaces the fluid. Larger volumes displace more fluid, resulting in a greater buoyant force. Thus, bodies with different volumes will experience different buoyant forces even in the same fluid.
