If the human body and water were the same density would the human body sink or float?

yes,because if something can save u it can also kill u humans can drown in water because we cant float and no humans have that godness

Would Jupiter float if placed in water?
The average density of Jupiter is 1.326 g/cm3The average density of a human is 1.01 g/cm3Therefore, a human would float on Jupiter since human density < Jupiter density.What is likely to happen is the outer layers of Jupiter are not very dense much less than 1 g/cm3. Near the center of Jupiter the density would be much greater due to the pressure from all the atmosphere above it pushing and compressing it.So a human body would end up floating somewhere in the middle of Jupiter, it would not be at the "surface." It would also not be able to sink to the center.
When would the density of an object float in liquid water?
The density is not directly relevant. Otherwise, ship made of steel would not float on water.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Would an object with a density of 0.85g per ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float - The density of water is 1.0, anything with a density less than this will float in water.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Why do human sink in water when alive?
because of density, water comes with a weight, lets say 3 tonnes, obviously a human would float straight away but if it was less, lets say 150 kilograms then you would sink until you are at an equal density to the water
Would the density of white oak sink or float if it is placed in water?
The density of the wood would not be affected by being placed in water. However, the wood itself, with a density of about 0.77 gm/cm3 , would float.
Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?
Yes it would float
How would you know if something would float on water?
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
Would a human finger sink or float?
Float (on water).
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
Would Uranus float in water?
No, the density of Uranus is 1.27 g/cm3 (the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3), therefore Uranus would sink. The planet that would float in water is the planet Saturn which has a density of 0.687 g/cm3.
