Why doesnt a balloon float with your air?
The air from your lungs has the same density as the air in our atmosphere. As a result a balloon inflated by a human using their lungs is unable to float.
Do humans float on water?
YES!!! Human density is 0.97 of 100 for water. So since we are less dense than water , we will float. Added to which nature gives us a pair of 'water wings' , they are called 'lungs'. Yes!!! you can lie on the surface of water, but because our density is slightly less than watert , most of the human organism will immerse in water, but enough is left above the surface of water, for us to breath.
Why taking a deep breath helps you float in water?
it help because the more air you have the more your body can suspend on top of the water surface

How can you make a bottle float then sink then float?
A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.
Why it is easy to float in open water?
We have air in the body. Our lungs.
When in water why is your body mostly under it?
because of your mass, you weigh more then the water and you sink, now the oxygenated red blood makes you float more and the air in your lungs also help you float.
Why does expanding your chest help you float?
Your lungs are your inbuilt water wings. You expand your chest by filling it with air, thus increasing your buoyancy.
Why do you float lower when you breath?
When you breath out under water, you are releasing the air from your lungs. Air is far less dense than water, which is why things that are filled with air float. So if you breath in, and then go under water you will float toward the surface. However, if you breath out and release that air in your lungs, you lose the buoyancy that the air was giving you. Thus causing you to sink...
What is the use of the air space in a water spangle?
to help it to float on water.
When you swim underwater you float back up why?
your lungs are filled with air and the air is lighter than water and it pulls you up

Which igneous rock has tiny air bubbles trapped inside which allow it to float in water?
Pumice has tiny air pockets to help it float in water.
Why is a person easily carried in water?

Which part of the water hyacinth help it to float?
Leaf petiole
Describe how fish float in water?
once they die,all the air bubbles in them help them float to the top!
Why does a human lung float when it is in water?
Yes they do float in water because at first they float and then they sink because they are kind of hollow so the water fills it up and soon enough it sinks.
