An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!

What are the purpose of ballast tanks?
to control the buoyancy of a submarine
Why is buoyancy important on a submarine?
because its a boat, without buoyancy it would sink
Is the buoyancy of the Dead Sea because of the hyper salinity and is buoyancy experienced in lake Asal?
Salt does make a difference in buoyancy but if there is no salt then you shouldn't sink to the bottom. Your head will go under. Every object has some degree of buoyancy in water. Some have enough so that they float, others do not. _______ Actually, the Dead Sea is not 'buoyant'. Buoyancy is a property of a solid object you put in the water. The salinity of the dead sea increases the specific gravity of its water. Specific gravity is to liquids as density is to solids. So the water of the Dead Sea has a very high specific gravity.
What is the physics in swimming?
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. All of newtons laws aply as well as achemedes principle
Do you realize we are floating in space?
We are held onto Earth by gravity. Also, the atmosphere ( air) is like fluid, like water. If you drop a stick into the ocean, it floats. That's because the weight of the stick is less than the buoyancy of the ocean pushing up, so it floats. A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the buoyancy of the water pushing up on it, so it sinks. Imagine the air as water. We do not get pushed up into space because our weight is greater than the buoyancy of the air pushing up on us. So it is like we are in the bottom of an ocean.
How or where is buoyancy used in real life?
Buoyancy is used for many life examples, submarines, swimmers would like to know about it, and the army would use it. Those are some life examples that of real life that buoyancy would be used! Hope this helps!
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
What are some real life examples of buoyancy?
boats, icebergs, lifebuoy, and helium balloons hope taht helps.
How does buoyancy occur?
Buoyancy occurs in fluids, which are gases and liquids. Hot air balloons are buoyant in air and ships are buoyant in water for examples. When the buoyancy of objects exceeds the weight of those objects, the objects rise. When the weight exceeds the buoyancy they sink. And when the buoyancy equals the weight of the objects they float.
What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?
Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
What happens to objects on earth when they are dropped?
When an object is released on earth (so it is free to fall), there are two forces that take hold. Gravity and Buoyancy. Gravity, of course, is what pulls matter to matter, and pulls us, and everything else towards the ground here on earth. Buoyancy is what makes things float. If the Buoyancy forces is stronger then the force of gravity, then the object will float away, at least until the buoyancy force levels out with the gravity force. Examples of buoyancy overpowering gravity is like a helium balloon floating away, or a boat floating on the water (gravity pulls the boat down, but the buoyancy over the water allows it to float).
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Does freshwater have buoyancy?
Yes, all fluids have buoyancy.
Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.
Could you find a scientific sentence with the word buoyancy?
We are merely testing the buoyancy of several types of ping pong balls.
When was buoyancy found?
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
How can buoyancy be demonstrated?
buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water
