Things can float better in salt water, due to density. For a visual experience, try getting 2 cups, fill both with tap water, and put salt in one cup, then mix it in. Get 2 eggs, and put one in each cup, keep on adding salt to one cup, until the egg floats. I hope I answered your question!
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why does fresh water float on salt water?
Fresh water is less dense than salt water, so it floats on top of the more dense salt water. This is due to differences in their salinity levels, with salt water being more concentrated. The less dense fresh water sits above the denser salt water due to the principle of buoyancy.
How do you figure out if things float better in salt water or in normal water?
what you do is an experiment. get a bowl with 3 cups of normal water. then get another bowl with 3 cups of salt water. then get some items to test it with. after you tried an item clean it and dry it. do the test more than once
Do objects float more easily in salt water or fresh water?
Objects float more easily in salt water, and the saltier the better. Any solid object placed on the surface of a liquid displaces its weight in that liquid (up to a maximum of the object's own volume). Saltwater, or any solution containing solutes, is more dense than plain water, so less of it is displaced, and objects will not sink as far into it, i.e. they are more likely to float rather than sink.
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.
Dose a swimmer float better in fresh salt water or non fresh salt water?
on fresh salt water
Does toys float better on fresh water or on salt water?
No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.
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 is it easier to float in saltwater than in fresh water then in fresh water?
Because salt is dense, so denser the water the better you float!
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
Will a raw egg float better in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Would an object float better in salt water compared to fresh water?
Yes.
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 do things float in salt water but not salt water?
Salt water is denser than fresh (not salt) water.
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.
Why can't objects float on fresh water?
Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.
