If you float in salt water what will you do in fresh water?

If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.


Why can't objects float on fresh water?

Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.


What can float in salt water but sink in fresh water?

i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.


Is it eaiser to float in salt water than fresh water?

Yes, it is easier to float in salt water than in fresh water due to salt water's higher density. The salt content in the water increases its buoyancy, making it easier for objects and people to float on the surface.


Is it easier to float in salt water or fresh water?

It is definitely easier yo float in salt water.


Why does salt water float on fresh water if it is denser than fresh water?

Assuming equal temperatures it does not. The fresh water will be on top.

Do boats float differently on fresh water vs salt water?

Why is it easier to float in saltwater than in fresh water then in fresh water?

Because salt is dense, so denser the water the better you float!


Compounds that float or sink in fresh water?

At 4°C pure water has a density (weight or mass) of about 1 g/cu.cm, 1 g/ml, 1 kg/litre, 1000 kg/cu.m, 1 tonne/cu.m or 62.4 lb/cu.ft Everthing else that is above 62.4 lb/cu.ft will sink, anything below will float.


How do objects float differently in salt water than in fresh water?

Objects float higher in salt water compared to fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density of salt water provides more buoyant force, causing objects to float higher. Additionally, salt water can also affect the rate at which objects sink or float due to changes in the water's viscosity and surface tension.


Do objects float more in salt water or fresh water?

Objects float more in salt water compared to fresh water because salt water is denser. The increased density of salt water provides greater buoyancy for objects, allowing them to float more easily than in fresh water.
