well i think it depends how much fat you have on your body. fat is less dense than bones and muscle, therefore a fat persons density is lower than an athletic person but an average person should be close to the waters density. (which is 1 in 4 Celcius)

∙ 14y agoThe density of the human body is just under 1g/cm because when we are in the water we just about float.

Most people can just about float in water what does this tell you about the density of the human body?
That the human body is less dense then the water below them? Or, it shows that the oxygen in the blood and in the body/lungs is enough to keep us floating! :P
When does an object have positive buoyancy?
A body has positive buoyancy when its density is lower than the density of the fluid the body is in.
How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?
If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid
What is denser water or the human body?
i guessing-the human body
What is human body anatomy?
the human body anatomy is, the study of the morphology of the human body.
Density of the body refers to what 2 things of the human body?
muscle density and bone density
What has more density water or human tissue?
Density is defined by how compact a particular substance is. In the case of the density of water verses the human body, your body is slightly less dense than water that is why humans can float.
What two things does density of the human body refer to?
Its mass and volume!
Is there any proof to say that human body's density is one?
Yes
Why does a human body float?
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
How can you know what some weak bones in the human body are?
Get a Bone Density Scan.
Why is the density of a person slightly less than one?
The density of the human body is brought down by the lungs, which contain air.
Can you float in caramel?
This experiment has never been done before. But according to the density of the human body vs. the density of the caramel, I think floating would not be possible.

That the human body is less dense then the water below them? Or, it shows that the oxygen in the blood and in the body/lungs is enough to keep us floating! :P
What is the average volume space of the human body?
The human body has a density close to that of water ~ 1000 kg/m^3 an average person weight maybe 70 kg, which gives an approximate body volume of V=m/M = 70/1000 = 0,07 m^3 Although, a human body density could definitely change depending on anything that could be implanted into the body, and since fat can float (think of soap) it should alter the values accordingly.
Is water less dense than the human body?
The average human body has a density of 1.010 kg/litreThe density of pure water is exactly 1 kg/litreThe density of sea water is 1.025 kg/litreSo the average human is denser than fresh water but less dense than seawater.There are significant differences in density between people, women tend to be less dense than men, muscular people tend to be more dense, fat people tend to be less dense. We can also reduce our density by breathing in deeply.Incidentally dead bodies tend to float after a few days due to the build up of decomposition gases within the body reducing its density.SourcesDensity of human body - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(density)Density of sea water - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_water
Is it natural for humans to swim?
It seems that humans swimming is a natural activity. The human body has a density that is slightly less than that of water. That allows the body to float naturally.
