Water is denser than air, and thus has a buoyancy effect that supports your weight more. You feel lighter because you are lighter. A scale under you would reflect the difference. Bear in mind, there is a difference between "weight" and "mass". Your mass would still be the same.
What else can I help you with?
Can you feel water in the air?
yes.we can feel
Why does a stone feel lighter when it was under water?
because the upthrust force of the water acting on the stone was pushing the stone upwards meaning it was acting against the downwards weight of the stone (its weight). This meant that the downwards force was decreased and therefore felt lighter :)
What is lighter than hydrogen?
No element is lighter than hydrogen. Not even stripping the electron off a hydrogen atom would make a lighter item, because electrons have almost no mass and the proton would just grab it back anyway.
What could a pilot do cause the balloon back to the ground?
If a hot air balloon, then stop heating the air. If a lighter-than-air balloon then release some of the gas.
Does air float on water?
Water has a higher density than air. Anything that is less dense will float. The tube's covering is not enough to make it sink when filled with air. That is also the reason that oil and water don't mix.
Are objects lighter in water than in air?
They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.
If you way 350 lbs on land why do you feel so much lighter in water?
If you weigh 350 lbs on land you feel lighter in the water because the density of water is greater than the density of air.
Why does a swimmer feel lighter while swimming?
You feel lighter in water because water is heavier then air and nearly all of you is heavier then air, however when you get into the water parts of you want to float to the surface putting you under the impression that you are lighter.
Why does an object feel lighter underwater than when its in the air?
An object feels lighter underwater because of the buoyant force exerted on it by the water. This force counteracts the gravitational force acting on the object, making it feel lighter.
Do plastic float on water?
depends if the plastic is heavier or lighter than water and if its hold air which is lighter than water
Why do objects seem to be lighter in water than in air?
Objects are more buoyant in water than in air.
Why is an object underwater feel lighter than when it is in the air?
An object underwater feels lighter than in the air due to buoyancy. When an object is submerged in a fluid like water, it experiences an upward force known as buoyant force, which counters the force of gravity. This buoyant force effectively reduces the weight of the object, making it feel lighter.
Why is a bucket of water lighter under water?
It actually isn't lighter, the mass of the bucket itself remains the same. However the buoyancy of the object, and the friction of water being higher than air, all work together counteract gravity. This makes the bucket appear to be lighter.
Why can you lift heavy objects in water easily than to air?
You can lift heavy objects more easily in water than in air because water provides more buoyant force than air due to its higher density. This buoyant force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter in water.
When an object is in water is it heavier or lighter?
When an object is in water, it may appear lighter because of the buoyant force acting on it. The buoyant force counteracts the weight of the object, making it feel lighter in water compared to in air.
Explain why an object under water feels lighter when its in the air?
When an object is underwater, it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. This buoyant force pushes the object upward, effectively reducing its weight. When the object is above the water, it is no longer displacing water, so the buoyant force is removed, making it feel heavier.
Will helium float in water?
Yes, helium will float in water. Helium is lighter than air, so it will also be lighter than water and rise to the surface when submerged in water.
