How can matter be more or less buoyant?

it can be more or less buoyant be having more or less mass.i.e. lead will sink in water because the mass is higher and wood will float because it is lighter. the more mass the less buoyant, less mass means more buoyant.


Does less ballast makes an object less buoyant?

No, the opposite.


By expanding and contracting their swim bladders fish can change their level in water How does this enable fish to become more or less buoyant?

(a) This helps them become more or less buoyant, because if they release the gas then they will sink making it more buoyant by getting air from the surface or from other bubbles it makes them less buoyant, making them float.


Why is air more buoyant than water?

Air is more buoyant than water because air is less dense than water, and everything the thing that is less dense is always more buoyant than what is more dense than it.


If you climb a high mountain the buoyant force exerted on you by the atmosphere?

It is less.


If an object is buoyant in air is it buoyant in water?

Yes, since the density of air is less than the density of water, a buoyant object in air is buoyant in water. In any body of water that is exposed to the air, in fact, said object would escape the body of water entirely.


When the weight of a submerged object is less than the buoyant force will the object sink?

No.


What happens to a balloon when pressure becomes less?

When the internal pressure in a balloon falls, the balloon get smaller and less buoyant.


Is a hot-air balloon buoyant?

Yes, hot air balloons are less dense and therefore buoyant ============================================ Hot air balloons are buoyant to the extent that the weight of the hot air in the balloon is lighter than the free air. When the difference is more than the weight of the balloon and its contents it will be buoyant and will ascend.


What is the effect of buoyant force on the ability an object has to float?

The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.


How do submerines sink?

they have ballast tanks that they fill full of water to make them less buoyant


Why you are able to float easily using the terms density and buoyant force?

When the density of a object is less than that of the surrounding fluid, the buoyant force is great enough to move it up.
