What else can I help you with?
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
Yes, adding salt to water increases its density, which can make some objects that would normally sink, like eggs, float. By altering the density of the water, the buoyant force exerted on the object can be increased to make it float.
How much salt does it take to make and object float?
The amount of salt required for an object to float depends on the object's density. For example, in water, objects will float when they displace an amount of water equal to their weight. Adding salt to increase the water's density can make it easier for less dense objects to float. The specific amount of salt will vary depending on the object's weight and size.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
Why does salt in water make objects float?
Things float in water if they are less dense than the water they are floating in. Putting salt in the water makes it more dense, so things that are a little more dense than ordinary water float in salt water.
Will salt in water make a coke can float?
it depends on how much salt is in the water. if there is enough, the soda can will float.
Will salt make an egg float?
yes, salt will make a egg float in water not on a table though
Why do you float better in the sea?
The more salt there is in water the more buoyant an object is. The salt makes the water dense. Objects only float if they have less density than salt.
Why egg floats in salt water?
Just about anything will float in saltwater, if there is enough salt in the water. The salt content of the Dead Sea is about 31%, and it's very easy for a person to float in. This is because the salt makes the water more dense, and this affects the property known as buoyancy. If the weight of an object is less than the weight of the fluid the object would displace if it were fully submerged, then the object has an average density less than the fluid and has a buoyancy greater than its weight. Make the water denser (heavier) by adding salt, and you increase the likelihood that an object will weigh less than the water it displaces, and will therefore float. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#De…
