In physics, buoyancy (pronounced /ˈbɔɪ.ənsi/) is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter.

  • In physics, buoyancy (pronounced /ˈbɔɪ.ənsi/) is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter.
  • Almost all Goos are buoyant in most types of water, and are usually found floating on top. Goos rarely sink. Submerged goo will almost always spring back up to the surface, as seen in Water Lock. There are a few exceptions. For example, Goo is not buoyant in the orange water at Genetic Sorting Machine. Heavier goo structures sink lower, but resurface faster and higher as a result. Thus, the heavier a structure is, the bouncier it is in water.
