(a)  

What word describes the upward force that water exerts on an object placed in it, making the object seem lighter?

(a)  

Which physical quantity of an object determines the size of the buoyant force it experiences in a fluid?

(a)  

What word describes the water that is pushed aside when an object is submerged?

(a)  

If an object’s weight is greater than the buoyant force it experiences, causing it to sink, what type of buoyancy is this?
