Are objects lighter in water than in air?
They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.
Do objects weigh more in the air or in water?
Objects weigh less in water than in the air because water exerts an upward buoyant force on the object, partially offsetting its weight. This is known as buoyancy, which makes objects feel lighter in water than in air.
Why can you lift heavy objects in water easily than to air?
You can lift heavy objects more easily in water than in air because water provides more buoyant force than air due to its higher density. This buoyant force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter in water.
Do objects weigh less in water or do they just appear to be weightless?
Objects weigh less in water than they do in air because of the buoyant force exerted by the water. This force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter or even weightless when submerged in water.
Will helium float in water?
Yes, helium will float in water. Helium is lighter than air, so it will also be lighter than water and rise to the surface when submerged in water.
Why do objects seem to be lighter in water than in air?
Objects are more buoyant in water than in air.

Do plastic float on water?
depends if the plastic is heavier or lighter than water and if its hold air which is lighter than water
What is the direction of acceleration for an object in the air?
Heavier than air objects accelerate downwards. Lighter than air objects accelerate upwards until they are no lighter than the air around them.
Why does a helium balloon go up?
A helium balloon floats because helium gas is lighter than air. By filling a balloon with helium, the balloon also becomes lighter than air. The helium balloon floats for the same reason that objects float on water: objects less dense than water are pushed up by buoyant forces equal to the weight of water displaced by that object. What happens in water also happens in air, and the helium balloon is pushed upwards by a force equal to the weight of air it displaces.

Why is water heavy yet the elements in it are either air or lighter than air?
Water isn't "heavy." Liquid water is more dense than air, yes, but water vapor is (significantly) lighter than air. Water is a liquid at temperatures far higher than what might be expected based on its molecular weight because of hydrogen bonding.
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Why is there an upward force on objects water?
The upward force on objects in water is due to buoyancy. When an object is submerged in water, the water exerts an upward force on the object that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. This helps support the object's weight, making it feel lighter in water.
