What is buoyancy?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid, like water or air, on an object that's partially or fully submerged in it.<|im_end|>

Why do objects float or sink in water?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Objects float if they're less dense than the fluid they're in, and they sink if they're more dense. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance.<|im_end|>

Is that why a rock sinks in water?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, that's correct. Rocks are generally denser than water, so they experience a downward force and sink.<|im_end|>
