Question

were to heavy for the amount of water contained in the bath

tc

Answer 2

I can, there might be a problem with you

Answer 3

have you put the water in?

Answer 4

There's not enough water to support our mass.

Answer 5

If the mass of the water is less than the mass of the object, the object will sink.  However, there is more water in the ocean so there is more of an upward force from the water on a person allowing him or her to float.

Answer 6

you can if you fill your lungs with air and the bath is deep enough....... otherwise its cause the bath is not big enough and does not hold enough water

Answer 7

Some people can... depends on what you had for dinner...

Answer 8

because its not long & deep enough..

Answer 9

It can depend on your body type too. Fat people can float alot easier and without much effort whereas thinner people find it harder to float. Something to do with the amount of water displaced.

Answer 10

That's a good question, probably because I ate all the pies!  GRIN*

Answer 11

The volume of water is not great enough compared to your body weight and size.

Answer 12

It's not deep enough. Mine isn't, anyway!

Answer 13

Your body must be less dense than the water. It doesn't matter how much you weigh, just as long as your body has less matter in the space than the water would if it occupied that same space.

Answer 14

I've done it before :)

Answer 15

We can if it's deep enough, unless you weigh too much, not that I think you do.

Answer 16

I can .. Maybe you weigh too much
