Best Answer

no because its density is greater than one ( anything less than one, density wise would float

Actually, only Saturn "would float"; ie, has a density less than 1. Earth has a density of 5.5 or so, and if there were a big enough bathtub, would sink like the rock it is.

On a distant planet the acceleration due to gravity is less than it is on earth Would you float more easily in water on this planet than on earth?

Both your weight and the water pressure would decrease, so it would be the same as on earth. Floating is nothing to do with the size of g, provided it isn't zero, or water pressure. If your density is less than that of water, you will float.


Why is there black specks floating in your water?

The black specks that are floating in your water could be due to the fact that whatever the water is in wasn't cleaned good enough. It could also mean that something fell into the water.


What is a floating ground?

A floating ground is an electrical circuit where the positive and negative sources are connected through a load to each other. They are not grounded to the earth. Your home wiring is grounded to the earth so does not have a floating ground. An example of floating grounds not necessarily the best definition, a flashlight, a cell phone, any personal electronic device when not connected to home wiring. The charger for these devices do not normally have a floating ground.
