the salt water has more density than fresh, so it can carry more weight than fresh water.

Salt water effect bouyancy?

more salt means more density so more buoyancy.


How does salt reduce buoyancy in water?

Salt actually increases buoyancy.


Does adding salt change the buoyancy of plain water?

Adding salt in water changes the buoyancy of plain water because the salt makes the water denser. This shows when an egg is place in water with salt, it floats, while with plain water, the egg sinks.


Why does salinity effect buoyancy?

Salt water is denser than fresh water. Since the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid or gas, an object of a certain volume will have more buoyant force pushing it up in salt water than in fresh water. It's sort of the same reason we can float on water but not in the air. Air is so much less dense than water that to float in it we need to displace a volume of it equal to the volume of a hot air balloon.


Does the temperature of salt water effect the buoyancy?

Yes, but not much. The density goes down as the temp goes up (above 4 degrees C), but for most purposes it is not significant. (The only time it would really have to be adjusted for is in a submerged submarine that was barely moving.)


Why does salt create buoyancy in water?

The salt makes the water more dense ,so that objects can float on the water.


Why do you float with salt?

Because the density of salt water is higher.

How do you decrease the buoyancy of water?

To decrease the buoyancy of water, you can add substances that are denser than water, such as salt or sugar. By increasing the density of the water, you reduce its ability to provide an upward force on objects placed in it, therefore decreasing their buoyancy.


Examples of buoyancy?

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


What effect provided by water aerobics makes the exercises beneficial?

Buoyancy


How does salinity effect buoyancy?

Salinity affects buoyancy by increasing the density of water. As salinity increases, the water becomes denser, causing objects to float higher. This is because the increased density of the water exerts a greater upward force on the object, making it more buoyant.
