eggs, if i may. eggs can float in saltwater but not tapwater. in my opinion, eggs are not the best floating object for saltwater but they are one thing that floats

How much salt does it take to make and object float?

The amount of salt required for an object to float depends on the object's density. For example, in water, objects will float when they displace an amount of water equal to their weight. Adding salt to increase the water's density can make it easier for less dense objects to float. The specific amount of salt will vary depending on the object's weight and size.


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.


Why does salt in water make objects float?

Things float in water if they are less dense than the water they are floating in. Putting salt in the water makes it more dense, so things that are a little more dense than ordinary water float in salt water.


How does salt effect an object float in water?

No, salt gets dissolved in water. Fresh water floats above salt water. In places with little mixing (fjords) there can be a several centimeter thick layer of fresh water above the salt water.


If you had a object with a density of 1.12 gcm3 would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35 gmL why?

The object would float in the salt water. This is because the object's density (1.12 g/cm3) is less than the density of the salt water (1.35 g/mL), making it less dense than the surrounding medium and causing it to float.

Will an objects float better in water or salt water?

an object will float on salt water best


Why can't heavy objects float without salt?

They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.


How do objects float higher in salt water?

Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.


Can you put salt in water to make an object float?

Yes, adding salt to water increases its density, which can make some objects that would normally sink, like eggs, float. By altering the density of the water, the buoyant force exerted on the object can be increased to make it float.

yes


What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?

the salt water is denser because of the salt

Why do you float better in the sea?

The more salt there is in water the more buoyant an object is. The salt makes the water dense. Objects only float if they have less density than salt.


Would an object float better in salt water compared to fresh water?

Yes.


Why would an object float higher in salt water then fresh water?

In salt water the water is more dense but in regular water the water isn't as dense so it couldn't float an object higher than salt water.More specifically, an object that floats in a liquid exactly displaces an amount of liquid having the same mass as the object. This is called bouyancy. Since the density (mass per volume) of salt water is greater than that of fresh water, an object will displace less volume, i.e. float higher in the salt water, than it would in fresh water.


What quantity of salt makes the object float?

it depends on what type of salt or what type of water like fluit water or fresh water
