The ability or tendency of a marine organism to float.
the apparent loss of weight of an object immersed in a fluid.
the principle that an object will float if it weighs less than the substance in which it is suspended
The upward force acting on a less dense object immersed or floating in denser material.
The tendency or capacity to remain afloat in a liquid; the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself.
This is a vessel's ability to stay afloat.
The tendency of an objectimmersed in a fluid to float.
The purpose of any lifejacket is to make the wearer float, how much floatation each life jacket has - buoyancy - is measured in Newtons, or N.
tendency of object to float or sink when placed in a liquid; objects that float are positively buoyant, those that sink are negatively buoyant and those that stay where placed are neutrally buoyant.
An upward thrust exerted by water on a body which acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity. Water's buoyancy virtually eliminates the effects of gravity-supporting up to 90 percent of the body's weight for reduced impact and greater flexibility. For example, a 140-lb. woman weighs only 14 lbs. in water. Water acts as a cushion for the body's weightbearing joints, reducing stress on muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As a result, aquatic workouts are low impact and can prevent the injury, strain, and re-injury common to many land-based exercises. Wearing a buoyancy belt suspends the body comfortably with the neck and shoulders above the water for an effective, low-impact, deep water workout.
difference between the gravitational force exerted on a submerged object and the gravitational force acting on the mass of water displaced by this object. Positive buoyancy means the object is lighter than the surrounding water and will float, and negative buoyancy means that it is heavier than the surrounding water and will sink. If the object is neutrally buoyant, it will remain suspended in the water column--fish use their swim bladder to achieve neutral buoyancy, enabling them to swim at any given depth.
Buoyancy is an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (i.e. a liquid or a gas), enabling it to float or at least to appear to become lighter. If the buoyancy exceeds the weight, then the object floats. Dyplast's polyiso and expanded polystyrene products are very bouyant, have virtually no tendency to absorb water, and can be used in flotation applications.
uplift due to hydrostatic (water) pressure.
The tendency of a fluid to lift any body submerged in the fluid. The amount of force applied to the body equals the product of the fluid density and the volume of the body displaced.
Buoyancy is the capacity to float in a liquid medium.
The load capacity of the flotation. Indicates the number of pounds to totally immerse the float. When calculating load limits maintain a safe freeboard before immersion.
ability to float or keep something afloat (eg. an organism).
The upwards force of an object that is placed into liquid.
This is the upward supportive force of water, counteracting the downward force of gravity. The force of buoyancy is determined by the density of the water; the greater the density the greater the buoyancy. Factors which affect a swimmer's buoyancy and floating position are: age, body build and bone size, muscular development and weight distribution, amount of fatty tissue, lung capacity and water density.
Upward force exerted by a fluid on any body immersed in it. Buoyant force can be explained in terms of Archimedes' principle.
A kayak's ability to float, created by its volume.
ability to float or rise in a fluid.
Positive buoyancy is where an object displaces water more than its own weight. It floats. Negative buoyancy is where an object displaces water less than its own weight. It sinks. Neutral buoyancy is where an object displaces water equal to its own weight. It hovers in the water like a helicopter hovers in the air. Or a diver hovers on a reef wall.
the abililty of water to support weight and the degree to which it can support weight.
The upward force produced by a liquid on an object when the object is immersed.
The characteristic which defines an object's stability -- or lack of it -- in a fluid. Positive buoyancy means that an object will float to the surface. An object with negative buoyancy will sink. Neutral buoyancy -- highly desirable in submarines -- means that an object floats at the same level, with no tendency to sink or rise.
The tendency for less-dense material to rise.
the upthrust given by the water which keeps a ship afloat; the difference between the vertical component of the hydrostatic pressure acting on the ships hull and the weight of the ship
The ability for an object to be lifted up, or to float, because of the greater density of the liquid it is in
In physics, an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (i.e. a liquid or gas), enabling it to float or at least to appear to become lighter. If the buoyancy exceeds the weight, then the object floats; if the weight exceeds the buoyancy, the object sinks.
The ability of something to float
n. Power or tendency to float on or in a liquid or gas.
the tendency of a body to float or to rise when submerged in a fluid; the power of a fluid to exert an upward force on a body placed in it
The resultant upward forces, exerted by the water on a submerged or floating body, equal to the weight of the water displaced by this body.
the upward force exerted on an object in liquid, whether the object sinks or floats. Objects that float are positively buoyant, those that sink are negatively buoyant and those that stay where placed are neutrally buoyant.
The upward force exerted by a fluid on a body or object in that fluid. The upward force that keeps a boat floating.
Uplift force on a submerged body equal to the mass of water displaced times the acceleration of gravity.
The tendency of a fluid to lift any object submerged in the body of the fluid; the amount of force applied to the body equals the product of fluid density and volume of fluid displaced.
the tendency of a body or fluid to rise when it is less dense than its surroundings. | | | | | | | | | | | N | O | | | | | | | X | Y | Z
The resulting upward force exerted by a liquid on a floating object equal to the weight of water displaced; the ability of a vessel to float. See " Vessel Stability."
An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (a liquid or a gas). It reduces the weight of a solid object in the fluid and enables some objects to float in a fluid, such as water.
The upward force on an object immersed in a fluid; equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object (Archimedes' Principle).
The upward force equal to the weight of water which is being displaced by an immersed object.
The upward force extended by the vertical component of integrated pressure acting on the hull below the waterline; usually calculated as being equal to the weight of the water displaced by the hull.
the ability to float, or in more technical terms - the upward forces exerted by a fluid on a body in it.
The tendency of a material to keep an object afloat [ edit
In physics, buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas) in which it is fully or partially immersed, due to the pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least to appear lighter.
