Water displacement. :\ less resistance in clean water.

Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?
salty water is more dense than fresh
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
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.
Why would an object float higher in salt water then fresh water?
In salt water the water is more dense but in regular water the water isn't as dense so it couldn't float an object higher than salt water.More specifically, an object that floats in a liquid exactly displaces an amount of liquid having the same mass as the object. This is called bouyancy. Since the density (mass per volume) of salt water is greater than that of fresh water, an object will displace less volume, i.e. float higher in the salt water, than it would in fresh water.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How do we decide if an object floats in water using density?
If an object is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
Why are ships are no sinking while they are in the sea?
if the water the object displaces wieghs more than the object it self then it floats
Why some object float and other sinck in the water?
It has to do with density. If an object is less dense than water (for example, oil), it floats. If an object is more dense than water, it sinks.
Why is the reason an object floats in water?
If the volume of liquid the object displaces weighs more than the object, the object will float. The principle is buoyancy or specific gravity.
Do people float more easily in salt water or fresh water?
An object floats because the amount of water it displaces weighs more than the object floating. If the fluid in which something is floating weighs more than water the object will float higher. When salt disolves in water it makes the water heavier, causing the object to float higher. The floating object can be a boat, a piece of wood or a person, it doesn't really matter. The principles of physics are applied equally.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
