Question

question 22 of 25 sandy wants to know whether an item dropped into a fluid will sink or float. what is true for any item that floats? a. the force of gravity is equal to the force of mass. b. the buoyant force is stronger than the force of gravity. c. the object has no density. d. the force of gravity is stronger than the buoyant force.

Explanation:

An object floats in a fluid when the buoyant force acting on it is greater than or equal to the force of gravity (weight). Among the options, only B states the buoyant force is stronger than gravity, which aligns with the condition for floating (since if buoyant force ≥ gravity, the object floats).

Answer:

B. The buoyant force is stronger than the force of gravity.
