Buoyant Force Demonstrated: Three Objects in Water

The video explains the behavior of three objects submerged in water: a wood ball, a rubber ball, and a water balloon. The wood ball accelerates upward due to its lower density compared to water, resulting in a greater buoyant force than gravitational force. The rubber ball, being denser than water, experiences a stronger gravitational force than buoyant force, causing it to accelerate downward. The water balloon remains at rest because its density matches that of water, balancing the buoyant and gravitational forces.
