If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.

What scientific rule states that the buoyant force an an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Since the object is submerged, we know that the buoyant force is not sufficient to overcome the weight of the object, otherwise it would be floating rather than being submerged. Therefore, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, not the weight of the object itself.
The upward buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to what?
The upward buoyant force is simply equivalent to the weight of an amount of the fluid that would occupy the same space (same volume). The total upward force on the body, if freely floating, would be found by subtracting the downward force of the body's own weight. So for example, the buoyant force on a balloon filled with air submerged in water would be equal to the weight of the same-size balloon filled with water suspended in air.
F the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity on an object then the object?
accelerates upward, and may shoot up out of the water.If the buoyant force is equal to the force of gravity, then the object floats right there.
How is buoyant force and displacement related?
buoyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in. if a fluid is displaced by the volume of an object, the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on that object
How does buoyancy affect whether an object will sink or float?
If you just set the object in the water, the buoyant force never becomes greater than the object's weight. It sinks and sinks, displacing more and more water, building up more and more buoyant force, until the buoyant force is equal to its weight. At that point, the net force on it is zero, it stops sinking, and it stays right there (floating). The only way you can produce a buoyant force greater than its weight is to force it further down and hold it there. Since the buoyant force is greater than its weight, as soon as you let go, the net force on it is up, and it'll rise, partly out of the water until the buoyant force drops to equal its weight, and again ... it'll stay right there. So the answer to the question is: An object can't stay indefinitely in a position where the buoyant force is greater than its weight. If that happens, then it lifts some of itself out of the water, reducing the buoyant force, until the buoyant force is again just equal to its weight.
The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?
The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produces?
FALSE
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the water displaced?
The buoyant force on a fully submerged object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. In fact, that's also true of a floating object.
When the weight of a submerged object is less than the buoyant force will the object sink?
No.
Explains the buoyant force on an object submerged in fluid?
it is archimedes' principle
What happens when the of a submerged object is exactly equal to buoyant force?
i will float
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?
On its volume.
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is greater than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
