it will depend how heavy the person is and much salt the water has. usually we sink but slowly
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Plutonium is a dense metal and will sink in water due to its high density.
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
Chances are any body, turtle or otherwise, will sink for a couple of days. As the body starts to decay, the gases fill the body and cause it to float. (At which point you might want to keep your distance.)
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
A drowned child would initially float due to the air trapped in their lungs and clothing. However, as the body decomposes and water fills the lungs, the body would eventually sink.
Whether or not your body sinks in water depends on your body's density. If your body is less dense than water, you will float; if your body is more dense, you will sink. Most people will float in water due to the density of the human body being slightly less than that of water.
You can't float in a pool because the density of your body is greater than the density of water, causing you to sink instead of float.
Object will sink when the area replaced by the object is less than the body of water and vice-versa .
How can you make a chocolate float or sink
what make stuff sink or and float
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.
You will float for a little, then slowly sink as your body is flooded with water.
If someone is unconscious in water, they will generally float for a short period of time before eventually sinking. Factors such as body composition and water conditions can affect how long a person remains afloat. It is important to rescue unconscious individuals from water as soon as possible to prevent drowning.
