What does the weight of an object that floats have the same value as?
The weight of the substances are largely immaterial. What matters is the density. Assuming fresh water to have a density of 1.0 anything with a lighter density will float in it. For example, oil generally has a density of about 0.8, so it floats in water. Concrete has a density of about 2.4, so it sinks. http://physics.about.com/od/fluidmechanics/a/commondens.htm
Why water hyacinth floats on water surface?
a green liquid
Will sand float in water will soil float in water?
Soil floats on water!
What floats higher in water an apple or a pepper?
A pepper floats higher than an apple because of its shape and lighter weight.
What are the differences between salt water and fresh water?
the difference between salt water and fresh water is that salt water is from the ocean and fresh water is water that hasn't gotten to the ocean and so the water is clean, And you can only drink fresh water not salt water
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
Why does egg sink in fresh water but in salt water it floats?
Salt water is denser than fresh.
Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?
salty water is more dense than fresh
A plant that floats on the surface of a fresh water?
fairy moss
How can water float on water?
freeze water as ice cubes then put it on water and it floats Liquid fresh water floats on salt water Warm water floats on cold water (water's greatest density is when it is 4 degrees Celsius).
Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?
sea water is denser.
Will oil settle faster in salt water or fresh water?
oil doesn't settle in salt water nor fresh water, it floats to the top
Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Why do the object floats more in salt water sea than to the fresh water?
Water displacement. :\ less resistance in clean water.
Why does red melted ice cubes stay on top of salt water?
It's not the color that is significant, its the fresh water that the ice cubes were made with. Salt water is heavier than fresh water so the fresh water floats a top the salt water.
Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
