Salt water is denser than fresh water, giving a higher net buoyancy force upward from the bottom of the whale, allowing it to float better.
This applies to anything; the more dense the medium, the easier it is to float on it.
an object will float on salt water best
Objects float better in salt water compared to tap water because salt water is denser than freshwater. The higher density of salt water provides more buoyant force, making it easier for objects to float.
Salt
salt water
An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.
No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.
Salt water
no because the salt makes the water lighter
on fresh salt water
eggs float better with water and salt but they do not float in just water
Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.
When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt.Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water. The denser the salt water, the easier it is for objects to float on top of it.
