A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water

Believe it or not Bowling balls that are denser than water float!

Why should an object sink in salty water and float in fresh water?

The only possible reason for that would be that after the object floated for a while,the salt ate a hole in it, the water poured into it, and it stopped floating.If the object doesn't corrode, dissolve, or get water-logged, then it might float insalty water and sink in fresh water, because salty water is always more densethan either fresh or distilled water.


Is it easier to float or sink in salty water?

float


Why does an egg float in water and not it salty water?

A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.


Why do you float in water with tons of salt?

I think substances can float in very salty water, because salty water (example the dead sea)is much more denser than other any other non-salty water, so things will float much more easier.


Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?

A perspex block sinks in fresh water because it is denser than the water. In salty water, the added salt increases the water's density, causing the perspex block to float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is in.


What formula makes an egg float?

You can float an egg in very salty water.


In which container did the egg float saly water or fresh water?

salty


Where is a place with very salty water?

the dead sea has very salty water. you can float because of the high content of salt.


Why do eggs float on salty water but not on ordinary water?

Eggs float in salty water because the density of the salty water is higher than that of the egg, causing it to float. In ordinary water, the density of the egg is higher than that of the water, so it sinks. The increased density in the salty water creates more buoyant force, allowing the egg to float.


How does the amount of salt water affect an egg?

The egg will float at the salty water


If an object floats in oil then does it float in water?

Not necessarily. An object's ability to float in a liquid depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the liquid. Even though an object may float in oil, it may not float in water if the object is more dense than water.


Does adding certain substances to water make boats float better?

Yes, if it makes the water denser, the boat will float easier. For example, it is easier to float in salty water.
