Because salt water can carry more objects than fresh water because the salt in the water makes the water heavier, and because fresh water has nothing in it so it's less heavier. Water cannot carry something heavier than itself.
This heaviness is called density, and is the mass of the water in a particular volume of water. Pure fresh water has a density of 1g/mL, which means each milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram. Anything that has a density greater than 1g/mL will sink in fresh water. The density of salt water is greater than 1g/mL, so anything that has a density less than the salt water will float on it, including fresh water.
What else can I help you with?
What things will float in salt water and not in fresh water?
An egg is one such thing.
Why do boats float better in salt water rather than fresh water?
flotation is due to the fact the boat is less dense than the water, salty water is more dense than normal water. Consequently things can be heavier or more dense and still be less dense than water aka they float.
Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
Can an egg float better with salt?
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
Why can we float easier in the sea than in a freshwater lake?
The density of salt water is higher than fresh water.
Why do things float in salt water but not salt water?
Salt water is denser than fresh (not salt) water.
What things will float in salt water and not in fresh water?
An egg is one such thing.
Why do things float easier on salt water than fresh water?
density
If you float in salt water what will you do in fresh water?
If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.
What can float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
Dose a swimmer float better in fresh salt water or non fresh salt water?
on fresh salt water
Is it eaiser to float in salt water than fresh water?
Yes, it is easier to float in salt water than in fresh water due to salt water's higher density. The salt content in the water increases its buoyancy, making it easier for objects and people to float on the surface.
Can an egg float in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Is it easier to float in salt water or fresh water?
It is definitely easier yo float in salt water.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
