Would an object sink faster in fresh water or salt water?
An object would sink faster in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density in salt water creates more buoyant force, allowing objects to sink faster than in fresh water.
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.
Why does a domino sink in salt water?
A domino sinks in salt water because the salt water is denser than fresh water, providing more buoyant force to support the weight of the domino. The increased density of salt water makes it harder for objects to float on its surface compared to fresh water.
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.
What is it easier to float in salt water than fresh water?
Because salt water is denser. If you pour salt water and fresh water [one with food coloring] into a glass, the salt water will sink below the fresh water. You are only a bit denser than salt water.

What can float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
Why does egg sink in fresh water but in salt water it floats?
Salt water is denser than fresh.
If you float in salt water what will you do in fresh water?
If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.
Why does a domino sink in salt water?

Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm

Why can crude oil float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
because of the salt in the water
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
