If an object is less dense than water, it floats. I don't know exactly why having less density than something else makes something float, but I believe it has to do with the weight of the particles. The lightest ones rise to the top, while the heaviest ones drop to the bottom. This can be seen when you add oil to water.
What else can I help you with?
Do you float in sea water?
Yes, objects tend to float in sea water due to its high density compared to fresh water. The salt content in sea water makes it denser, providing more buoyancy for objects to float.
How do objects float differently in salt water than in fresh water?
Objects float higher in salt water compared to fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density of salt water provides more buoyant force, causing objects to float higher. Additionally, salt water can also affect the rate at which objects sink or float due to changes in the water's viscosity and surface tension.
Does an egg float in salted water?
Yes, an egg will float in salted water because the increased density of the water due to the salt makes it easier for objects with lower density, like an egg, to float.
What property in water makes things sink or float?
Its density.If a substance is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, then it will float.(The surface tension of water also contributes slightly to this.)
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
Do you float in sea water?
Yes, objects tend to float in sea water due to its high density compared to fresh water. The salt content in sea water makes it denser, providing more buoyancy for objects to float.
Why object float in water?
Objects float because the air in the object causes it to rise because it is less denser than water. Objects float better in salt water because the salt makes the water more denser helping even heavier objects to float. -Kimberly P.S. I learned all this in 4th grade!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does salt create buoyancy in water?
The salt makes the water more dense ,so that objects can float on the water.
Why does salt makes an object float?
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
How do objects float differently in salt water than in fresh water?
Objects float higher in salt water compared to fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density of salt water provides more buoyant force, causing objects to float higher. Additionally, salt water can also affect the rate at which objects sink or float due to changes in the water's viscosity and surface tension.
Objects float in water because water has an?
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
Does an egg float in salted water?

Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
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.
How egg float in salt water related to chemistry?
More physics than chemistry, really. Salt makes the water denser, allowing denser objects to float, than in pure water.
Is it easier to swim in saltwater?
When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt.Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water. The denser the salt water, the easier it is for objects to float on top of it.
