Most people can just about float in water what does this tell you about the density of the human body?

That the human body is less dense then the water below them? Or, it shows that the oxygen in the blood and in the body/lungs is enough to keep us floating! :P

How do you float yard eggs?
An egg float on salted water because the density of the egg is lower the the density of this water.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Can a egg float in cold water?
They can float in hot. Like if you boil eggs, before you set the pot, water, and eggs on the stove, you see that they don't float until the water gets warm.
What has more density water or human tissue?
Density is defined by how compact a particular substance is. In the case of the density of water verses the human body, your body is slightly less dense than water that is why humans can float.
Why does a human body float?
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
Can coal float on water?
coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density (; hope this helps you out! coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an objects density is 1 or less, it will float on water
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
How much weight do lose when in water?
That depends on the person - a live human body is about the same density as water - some people sink, some float - just. In other words, you are about weightless in water.
Do people have density?
Yes but to be exact you would need a specific person. Most people have a density of slightly less than 1 because they float in water. If you do not float then your density is slightly greater than 1.
What are the materials that float on water?
anything that has a density <1.0 will float on water
Do just black people have Negative buoyancy?
Virtually all human beings have a net density that is slightly less than 1, allowing them to float in water.
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
No. To float density must be less than 1 (the density of water).
