A vessel freely floating in the water will behave as if all of its weight is acting downward through a point called:Select the correct response:center of gravitymetacentercenter of flotationcenter of buoyancy

If an object floats in water, it experiences:a) Buoyant force equal to its weightb) Buoyant force greater than its weightc) No buoyant forced) Buoyant force less than its weight

Which of the following situations describes a floating body which is most likely to be unstable?Group of answer choicesThe centre of gravity coincides with the centre of buoyancyThe floating body has a very low massThe floating body has a very large massThe centre of gravity is located above the centre of buoyancy

f the weight of an object is < the Buoyant Force, the object will ......................ASinkBRiseCRemain at the same level

If the weight of the object is more than the weight of the water displaced, the object _____suspended in the middleFloatsSinksNone of the above optionsSave

Which of the following statements most accurately describes buoyancy?Group of answer choicesBuoyancy is caused by a uniform pressure acting across an immersed body which allows for a volume changeBuoyancy only causes objects that are partially immersed to float when they have a low massBuoyancy is caused by a net pressure difference acting on an immersed bodyBuoyancy can help floating objects be more stable so long as the centre of buoyancy is below the centre of gravityNone of the available options
