An object floats in sea water more readily because of sea water?

Density.
The amount of salt and minerals (salinity) increases the water's density and affects the ability of an object to sink in saltwater - for example, it is nearly impossible to sink if you're swimming in the Great Salt Lake in Utah due to the high salinity of the lake. The higher the salinity content, the harder it is to sink an object.

Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
What is an object that floats in water?
something lighter than water
What is the true about an object that floats in water?
It is lighter than water

An object that floats on the surface of water?
the amount of density
What happen when the downward pull of gravity on an object is equal to the upward force of water?
The object floats in the water.
Does an object that floats displace water?
Yes. A floating object displaces its own mass in water.
How do you find density of an object in water?
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.
What is floats in water What density?
An object will float in water if it has LESS density than the water.
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
Why do lighter objects float higher in water?
It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.
