Things that are less dense are
more buoyant
no
does the depth of a liquid (as in a lake or a pond or the ocean) affect the buoyant force.
Weight is a
downward force
buoyant force
is an upward force
bubbles rise on a glass of coke because they are
less dense than the liquid they are in
Archimedes' principle
states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
Pascal's principle states
that a force applied to a fluid in a closed system increases the pressure throughout the fluid equally and in all directions
bernoulli's principle states
that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases
lift is the
upward force created by the difference in pressure above and below a wing
