What else can I help you with?
Why don't I float in water and what factors determine whether a person floats or sinks in water?
When you float in water, it is because of the buoyant force acting on your body. This force is determined by your body's density compared to the density of water. If your body is less dense than water, you will float. Factors like body composition, lung capacity, and body fat percentage can affect whether a person floats or sinks in water.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
What happenning if the weight of the body equal to zero in the water?
If the weight of a body in water is zero, it means the body is in a state of neutral buoyancy where it neither sinks nor floats. This occurs when the weight of the water displaced by the body is equal to the weight of the body itself.
Do float or sink in sea water after you have drowned?
A human body typically sinks in sea water after drowning due to the increase in density caused by water entering the lungs. However, factors such as body composition and post-mortem changes can also influence whether a body floats or sinks.
How does a water lilys disperse?
The water lily disperses its seeds in the water. The flower produces a fruit that floats in water for a while. It then sinks down to the bottom to take root at the bottom of a pond of other body of water.

Why does a body float in water?
A body floats in water because it is less dense than water.
Why does a human body float?
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
Is the human body density greater than 1 grams per milliliter?
It can be if it is lean. If it is fat no. Note that water is 1 gram per mL. If an object floats it is less than 1g/mL If it sinks in water it is greater than 1g/mL
Why a ball made of steel sinks in water while a boat made of steel easily sails in water?
according to Archemidies principle ,"when a body is dipped in water its weight is reduced , this reduction in weight s eqivalent to the volume of water which replaced by the body." when a steel ball dropped in water the weight of replaced water by the ball is less than weight of the ball , so the ball sinks. But in the same condition the volume of water replaced by the boat is more wieghy in comparision to the weigh of boat , hence it floats. The term for this is Bouyance. It also explains why a Dirigible(Zeppelin) airship floats in the air. The Volume of Dirigible weighs less than the Air it displaces. Believe it or not, the same is true for Steel Ships. What I find hard to fathom is how a Ship full of heavy crude Oil floats?
Why does a needle sink but a boat float?
The total weight of the surface area of a boat is less than than the weight of a body of water of the same size (buoyancy), so that is why it floats. A needle sinks because a body of water with the same size is lighter than the needle. Note: It is entirely possible to float a needle on water. It requires a bit of doing, but it can be done.
