Why don't people sink in water?
If you breathe in before going under water then you float beacuse you are filled with light air. Otherwise, if you blow out while going under then you sink. All of the air is expelled out of you body. For example: if a balloon is aired up it will float when it pops its will sink if all of the air is out.
What conditions must be met in terms of density of a body for it to float submerged in water?
A body whose total density is greater than that of water will sink in water;that is, if it's not supported, it will continuously drift lower.A body whose total density is less than that of water will float in water; that is,it will sink only partially, and will then remain on the surface and sink no lower.A body whose total density is exactly equal to that of water will have "neutral buoyancy",and will "float submerged" so to speak. That is, none of it will remain above the surface,but once submerged, it will neither rise nor sink further, but will maintain the depth at whichit is placed.
Why the stone sinks in water?
it's because the density may be greater than the body of water that is why the stone sink...
If you fill up a sink with water does it appear deeper or shallower?
Due to the refraction of light, a body of water (whether its a sink, pool or lake) will appear more shallow than it actually is.

Is the density of the human body greater than or less than one grqmper centimeter cube?
Your question is the same as "Do people sink or float in fresh water?" When I breath in, I float in the swimming pool; when I breathe out, I sink. Try it.
What water will you not sink in because of the salt?
The body of water you will never sink in is The Dead Sea, because it has allot of salt and the salt will push you to the top of the water THEREFORE you WILL NOT sink.
How is a fish adapted to live in water?
they have gills to breathe, a streamline body for cutting through the water Answer 2 Many of them also have a swim bladder which is a bladder filled with a gas, which enables them to neither sink nor float
Why is it when you breathe in you sink and when you breathe out you rise?
Your lungs expanding and closing.
Why don't whales sink?

Where will a body sink more in fresh water or in sea water?
Fresh water...
What body of water did the Titanic sink in?
Atlantic Ocean
What body of water that is so salty that you can not sink?
The Dead Sea.
Will the object sink or float in water?
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
What leaves the body when you exhale which is why mirrors get foggy when you breathe on them?
Water Vapor.
Do float or sink in sea water after you have drowned?
