Question

which statement is true about buoyancy? buoyancy causes things to sink. buoyancy acts in the opposite direction of gravity. buoyancy takes up space.

Explanation:

Buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a fluid, opposing the downward pull of gravity. The first option is false because buoyancy causes floating, not sinking. The third option is false because buoyancy is a force, not a substance that takes up space. The second option correctly states buoyancy acts opposite to gravity.

Answer:

Buoyancy acts in the opposite direction of gravity.
