Why is it easier to float in a sea water than in fresh water?

Sea water is denser than fresh water due to the presence of dissolved salts, which increases its buoyancy and makes it easier for objects to float. The higher density of sea water also creates more buoyant force, helping things stay afloat more easily compared to fresh water.


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 is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?

A ship floats deeper in fresh water than in sea water because fresh water is less dense than sea water due to a lower concentration of salts and minerals. This lower density causes less buoyant force to be exerted on the ship, making it float deeper in fresh water in order to displace an equivalent volume of the less dense liquid.
