well when the salt dissolves into the water it makes water considerably denser and there for the water can hold more weight by:Matthew Shouse
What else can I help you with?
How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
Do small things float?
Whether small things float or not depends on their density. If the density of an object is less than the density of the fluid it is placed in (such as water), then it will float. However, if the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, it will sink.
Why does only light things float in salt water?
Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.
Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
Is density important?
Density is important because it can show you if things float or sink.
What makes things float?
Because there is less density.
Why do heavy things float?
Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.
Why some things float and other things sink?
Because of the objects density.
Why then things float on water?
Well last yr we learned that things float in water if there um i believe density is lower than 1.0, if there density is greater than 1.0 then it will sink.
What is density from the properties of water?
density are molecules that hold together that's how things float and skee
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
