when the guy dropped the egg in the salt water, he gently placed it in. but when he put the egg into the tap water, he pretty much just dropped it. doesn't that have anything to do with whether it floats or sinks? because if you just drop the object it, water goes over it quicker and causes it sink faster. right? yeah i have to agree that fi you drop it in the water it will sink faster because of the velocity it has and if you lay it in there it will be much slower

I think the salt water had to do with the density though
im pretty sure that the salt water is thicker then the tap

wow that is really cheesy but shows how you can make an object float by making the mass bigger. Question: By adding salt that doesn't make the volume greater to? I think it might, but I also think they had the same amount of both types of water, so the salt water would have less actual water to make room for the salt. Which would only be increasing the mass.

In this video, I am baffled by the random picture of a man getting his hair cut. Does it have any relevancy to what it is explaining? what would a boiled egg do?

If it floats, it floats, dropping it in should have no affect on that.

Yes, that it does. And Patricia, I'm going to pull a Mr. Kruse on you. Why do you think it floats on normal tap water when it's rotten? well, mr. jeremy kruse, lets see i think it has to do with air pockets but i'm not sure i just know it works that way from cooking.

It made sense becuase the salt made the water more dense so that the egg was able to float. Did you know, that rotten eggs float in normal tap water? It's true. cool get us some video evidence and post it up here. i'll try but first i need to rot a few eggs

Hm... I believe the random man is supposedly, "Fizz Icks" or Physics, like a scientist being compared to physics, but I have no idea why he's getting his hair cut.

It is a picture of ben stein who is an actor and considered to be very smart. Let's get the discussion going about the video again. Why does the salt increase mass of water, but not volume?

I think eggs only float in salt water instead of tap water
