how long does it take for a body to rise in water?

Even a weighted body will normally float to the surface after three or four days, exposing it to sea birds and buffeting from the waves. Putrefaction and scavenging creatures will dismember the corpse in a week or two and the bones will sink to the seabed.

In cold water adipocere can take as long as 12 to 18 months whereas in warm water it can form in as little as two months.

Once submerged, the body stays underwater until the bacteria in the gut and chest cavity produce enough gas—methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide—to float it to the surface like a balloon. (The buildup of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases can take days or weeks, depending on a number of factors.)

An object floats when the weight force on the object is balanced by the upward push of the water on the object. ... If the weight force down is larger than the upward push of the water on the object then the object will sink. If the reverse is true then the object will rise – rising is the opposite of sinking.

Drowning happens very quickly, but it does take place in stages. The stages can take between 10 and 12 minutes before death occurs. If a child is drowning, it may happen much more quickly.

If the upthrust is larger than the weight of the object, the object will rise. This happens when you jump into a swimming pool and then rise back up to the surface. Under the surface, the weight of water you displace - the upthrust - is more than your weight, so there is a resultant upwards force.

"It is now a scientific fact that looking at the horizon on a ship physically stabilises your body." The other is standing with your legs further apart. Dr Stoffregen said most people get their sea legs within about 36 hours of leaving shore, although some take longer.

Three water pipes are used to fill a swimming pool. The first pipe alone takes 4 hours to fill the pool, the second pipe alone takes 6 hours to fill the pool, while the third pipe alone takes 12 hours to fill the pool.

This process is known as acclimatization and generally takes 1-3 days at that altitude. For example, if you hike to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), and spend several days at that altitude, your body acclimatizes to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters).

It depends on the surrounding temperature and density of stuff around (air, liquid, vacuum, etc). If you dipped a bofy into a bath of liquid nitrogen, a few seconds. If you placed a body in a restaurant's walk-in freezer, around 12 hours.

It takes a healthy human body about 3 hours to process through a liter of fluid. The reason it takes so long for fluid to reach the bladder is because...

When you get back on shore, you need time to get your land legs back. That usually happens within a few minutes or hours, but it can take up to 2 days. With mal de debarquement syndrome, though, you can't shake the feeling that you're still on the boat.

In the last decade, the speed at which California's sea level is rising has increased, and is now rising by as much as 1 inch every 10 years. Around San Francisco, it took around 39 years for the sea level to rise around 6 inches.

Timeline. In a temperate climate, it usually requires three weeks to several years for a body to completely decompose into a skeleton, depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, presence of insects, and submergence in a substrate such as water.

In this shallow water, the movements of the fish will cause the water to circulate so it can pick up more oxygen from the water surface. The fish can survive under these shallow-water conditions for more than two days, maybe even a week or more, unless they are really crowded or not in full health to start with.

It generally takes between a week and 10 days to build an in-ground fiberglass swimming pool. Above-ground pools can be installed in a day or two but, for a permanent structure, there will need to be a deck around the pool as well as pool fencing.

A typical water molecule will stick around in an ocean for, on average, a few thousand years. In rivers, a water molecule won't dawdle as long — just a couple weeks to several months. But a water molecule hunkered down in groundwater might be around for 10,000 years.
