your body weight hasn't changed, just your density
Your density doesn't change just because you curled up into a ball.
you sink becaues you are more packed together
you are more dense
there is a reason why a brick doesn't fly but a plane does
You sink because you have decreased the amount of surface area for the water to apply a force on.
right ,less dense
Here's what we've got, the RAND corporation, in conjunciton with the SAUCER PEOPLE under the supervision of THE REVERSE VAMPIRES are working together in a fiendish plot to make our parents go to bed early to eliminate the meal of supper. We're through the looking glass here people.
But you're not more packed together, the atoms that make up your body are still just as equally spread out across the volume you take up.
You do actually know what density is right?
It's just mass divided by volume.
do you?
okay
When you scrunch yourself into a ball, neither your mass nor your volume is changing.
and yet you sink
because your density has changed
your volume has changed, your distribution of your mass over the water is more distributed when your spread out
when your in a ball its less distrubuted
@noah You can also do it with the other 9 laws of Sheeple's Accelerationism
You can change the density of the medium
you can blow on it, or splash it, applying pressure vectors.
You can add something to the medium to make it more viscious
You can apply control surfaces to the body and change your drag, wave a big bedsheet on a windy day.
So what you're saying is that the amount of space your body takes up is still the same, but the amount of surface area of your body that is exposed has decreased.
You can use static charge to move you,
you can put on magnetic boots
you can shoot yourself with a machine gun or a laser
right
Or you can freeze yourself to -271 degrees Celcius and coat yourself in super fluid helium
your have more density when you move your body into a ball like "cannon ball"
If you blow on or splash a liquid, the liquid is more dense because liquids are more compressible.
If you are in a swimming pool breath in to your highest lung capacity you will float, exhale all the air, you will sink.
You can change your own density
The change in volume if you were to do the same thing to a solid would be virtually unnoticeable
the point of mentioning density and bouyancy is to show we have better answers for why things move up or down
Why does Temperature change your density?
