A body floats in water because it is less dense than water.
The body will float in the water after it has drowned for a while. The body will not stay down.
Well not all organs can float, but lungs can float on water
it should have less density to float on water.
the density of your body is lower than 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.
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
Walruses can float due to their very high body fat content.
We have air in the body. Our lungs.
Gases build up in a decomposing body in water and makes it float, but the head remains heavy and so tends to sink just below the water level.
Because...our body has density.The amount of mass in a certain volume of matter is a property called density...the density of our body is less than the water that is why we float on water.But it's just a little less!
The density of ocean (sea) water is approximatley 1.025; the density of the human body is approximately 1.00; less dense objects float on top of or near the surface of denser liquids. The saltier the water or the more body fat you have (body mass index), the better you float. Cheers Malcolm
In the pool, or in any large body of water.
