Will hydrometer float higher in fresh air or salt water and why?
The hydrometer will float higher in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh air. The buoyant force acting on the hydrometer is determined by the density of the fluid it is placed in, so it will float higher in salt water compared to fresh air.
Why a ship sinks more in fresh water than sea water?
A ship will sink more easily, when in fresh water instead of sea water, as the fresh water is less dense, due to a lack of salt in it. The density of any object affects how well it's able to float.
Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
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 do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to?
Ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water because fresh water is less dense than salt water. This means that a ship will displace less water in fresh water compared to salt water, leading to less buoyancy and a higher likelihood of sinking. Additionally, fresh water lacks the buoyant force provided by dissolved salts in salt water.
Can you use a salt water boat in fresh water?
Yes, you can use a salt water boat in fresh water. However, it is important to rinse off the boat and its components thoroughly after each use in salt water to prevent corrosion and damage from the salt.
At what conditions will lightning strike fresh water or a boat in fresh water rather than a tree on the shoreline?
== == water with out salt water with out salt
Will a boat sink more in fresh water or salt water?
The boat will sink lower in fresh water. Try floating in the ocean versus your pool. You will see it is easier to stay afloat in salt water.
Is it easier for a boat to move through salt water or fresh water?
It is generally easier for a boat to move through salt water than fresh water due to the higher density and buoyancy of salt water. The increased buoyancy helps support the weight of the boat, reducing the amount of energy required to move through the water. Additionally, the viscosity of salt water is slightly lower, which can also contribute to easier movement. However, factors like water currents, wind, and the type of boat can also influence performance.
Does salt water or fresh water affect the flotation height of an object?
yes An object, like a boat for example, will sink into the water until the weight of the water it displaces equals the gross weight of the object. Since salt water is denser than fresh water, a boat will sit slightly higher in salt water. (That's why the Mythbusters needed far fewer ping pong balls to raise a boat from the bottom of the bay than they originally calculated; they based their calculation on the fresh water boyancy of the ping pong balls.)
Contrast salt water and fresh water?
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
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.
Dose a swimmer float better in fresh salt water or non fresh salt water?
on fresh salt water
What is salt water and fresh water?
Salt water is water that has salt in it and it is found in oceans. Fresh water does not have salt and is found in rivers and lakes.
Is the Jordan river fresh water or salt water?
salt water
Salt water and fresh water difference?
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
Salt water and fresh water differences?
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
