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.
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
