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.

Who will survive Drowning in salt water versus fresh water?
it depend on the density of the water . fresh water is more dense than sea water. therefor human can float on sea water easier than fresh water. divers are good at water density.
Will an object with higher density displace more water than an object with lower density?
no
What is buoyancy and how is it affected by density?
Buoyancy is the factor of things that float or sink. Density is related because if the object has more density than water, it will sink. But, if it has less density than water, the object will float.
Why can a cruise ship stay a float in the ocean when it is more dense than water?
It is not more dense than water. Density is mass/volume; although made of materials heavier than water its enclosed volume is so high that its density is lower than water.
What is the property of that makes something sink or float?
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
How does tissue density compare to the low density object in the gizmo?
It is slightly more dense.
How does tissue density compare to the low density objects in the gizmo?
It is slightly more dense.
Is water less dense than the human body?
The average human body has a density of 1.010 kg/litreThe density of pure water is exactly 1 kg/litreThe density of sea water is 1.025 kg/litreSo the average human is denser than fresh water but less dense than seawater.There are significant differences in density between people, women tend to be less dense than men, muscular people tend to be more dense, fat people tend to be less dense. We can also reduce our density by breathing in deeply.Incidentally dead bodies tend to float after a few days due to the build up of decomposition gases within the body reducing its density.SourcesDensity of human body - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(density)Density of sea water - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_water

Which has more density water or oxygen?
Water
Does salt water around the world have the same density?
No, it depends on the volume of water that can dissolve the salt. If the volume of water is more then it dissolves more salt and the density will be more and if the volume of the water is less then it dissolves less salt and the density will be less.
Why do lighter objects float higher in water?
It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
Why is density less than the density of water float or sink in water?
For floating in water: density under 1 g/cm3 For sinking in water: density more than 1 g/cm3
Does boron have more density than water?
Boron density: 2,08 g/cm3 Water density: 1 g/cm3
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some objects will float on water as the density of the object is less than that of water. Conversely, if an object is more dense than the density of water, then it will sink.
