Objects float better in salt water because the denser the water the easier the object will float for instance if your at a salt water beach you will float easier in a salt water beach then you will floating in a swimming pool.

∙ 13y agoObjects float better in salt water because the more salt there is on the water the denser the water is. And the denser the water is the more weight it will support.

Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Does salt water float over fresh water?
no< fresh water will become mixed with the salt water
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Can an egg float in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?

How do objects float differently in salt water than in fresh water?
the salt makes the water denser then the fresh water so it is easyer to float in.
Do objects float more in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
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.
What is the answer to the question does an object float in saltwater freshwateror neither?
It's far from clear what the actual question is. Some objects float in both salt and fresh water, some objects float in neither, and some objects float in one but not the other. Any object that floats in fresh water will float in salt water, but the reverse is not true.
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.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
Will objects float better in rubbing alcohol or water?
water
Why does a ship float lower in the water when it goes from sea water into a freshwater estuary?
Saltwater is denser than freshwater: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. source:infoplease
What liquids have a better buoyancy?
Liquids that have a greater density than water, will provide more buoyancy to objects floating in it. Salt water is more dense than fresh water, so objects will float higher in it.
Do objects float better in dense water?
yes
Why can't objects float on fresh water?
Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.
