What else can I help you with?
Why is a person easily carried in water?
Because the air in our lungs and body makes us buoyant (float)
What makes people buoyant?
People are buoyant in water because of the upward force exerted on them by the water, called buoyant force. This force is equal to the weight of the water the person displaces. People with lower body fat tend to be less buoyant, while objects with greater density than water will sink.
Who learn swimming easily and quickly a fat person or a slim person why?
a slim one
Does the weight of a person affect their buoyancy?
Generally, it is not the weight so much as the amount of fat to lean muscle and bone. The more fat a person has the more buoyant they are. You could a have 300-pound weightlifter who is solid muscle (very dense) and a 300-pound elderly man who has little lean muscle and lots of fat. The elderly man would be more buoyant even though their weight is the same.
What is the Purpose of buoyant heaving line?
The purpose of a buoyant heaving line is to have a readily accessible line that can be thrown to someone in the water to help them stay afloat or to establish communication and aid in rescue efforts. The buoyant properties of the line ensure that it stays afloat and can be easily grabbed by the person in distress.
What liquid is the most buoyant?
Mercury is the most buoyant liquid because it is very dense and results in objects floating easily on its surface.
Why can't some people float?
This is easy. Muscle does not float. If the person has body fat the person will float, the more fat the better the person floats. The less fat, the less a person floats.
What happens if the buoyant force decreases?
As buoyant force decreases then the body starts sinking down.
Would a person float more easily in the middle of the Atlantic or the Arctic Ocean?
The Arctic Ocean's salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans. Objects would be more buoyant in the Atlantic.
Why you are able to float easily using the terms density and buoyant force?
When the density of a object is less than that of the surrounding fluid, the buoyant force is great enough to move it up.
How do you use buoy and boy in a sentences?
The buoyant economy did not allow new comers in the market The buoyant behavior of a person determines her characteristics.
Why do fat people float in water better than thin ones?
Fat is less dense than muscle and bone, causing fatty tissues to float better in water than lean tissues. This is due to fat being less compact and therefore more buoyant. Conversely, lean individuals with higher muscle mass may sink more easily in water due to their higher density.
