What else can I help you with?
Do objects flost better in freshwater or in salt water?
Objects float better in salt water. It is more dense, therefore, it is more difficult to move through.
What are the objects that can float on water?
Any object that is less dense than water will float.
Do less dense things float in water?
Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.
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.
Which object will float the best?
An object that is less dense than water will float the best. The shape and size of the object can also affect how well it will float. Objects that are designed to displace a large amount of water will float better than objects with smaller surface areas.
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water, so they displace enough water to counteract the force of gravity pulling them down. Objects that sink are denser than water and displace less water than their weight, causing them to be pulled down by gravity.
Is it easier to swim in saltwater?
When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt.Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water. The denser the salt water, the easier it is for objects to float on top of it.
How can you predict whether objects will float or sink?
The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed, and objects more dense that water will sink, while objects less dense than water will float. An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.
What can you infer about objeacts that sink or float in water?
Objects that Float in water are less dense than water. Objects that sink are more dense than water. More clearly stated Objects that sink displace less water than their weight of equal measure.
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
Why does salt water make objects float?
Because it is more dense
What are objects will sink and what objects float?
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
