Maybe some, but very few do. Powered (not gliders) airplanes are surprisingly heavy. Furthermore they carry a huge weight in fuel. Many big airplanes takeoff with more weight than they can land with. Even if an airplane has used up its fuel, the weight of engines and fuselage is more than the boyancy of fuel tanks and the pressure hull. Blub glub glub....
No. For something to float, it has have a density of less that 1Mg (1000 kg) per m3. If the object was made of lead with a (compared to the object) small bubble of air inside, it wouldn't float.
The weight of the aircraft carrier presses down on the water with gravity...however, the water presses up against the aircraft carrier. When these forces are equal, the device floats. If you've ever taken a balloon or ball into the water and noted that it wants to float and it takes more effort to sink it, same principal on a bigger scale. This is called buoyancy.
They are shaped in a way that will push a lot of water out of the way when they're in it.
As soon as the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the ship's weight,
the ship doesn't settle any deeper.
In general no they cannot however there are some specially adapted army ones that can these are The Harrier and the F-35 lightning.
yes
Definitely not... the maximum practical speed, today, is 32-35 knots.
u guys should know how to define a question if someone is to ask u a question answer it or do not call Ur website answers.com when u know u cant answer half the questions we ask. So if u want to have a website like this get Ur facts right and know the question when they are asked.
an aircraft carrier drifting at a speed of one inch per hour when it hits the dock
From Wikipedia: "If the object has exactly the same density as the liquid, then its buoyancy equals its weight. It will tend neither to sink nor float. An object with a higher average density than the fluid has less buoyancy than weight and it will sink. A ship floats because although it is made of steel which is more dense than water, it encloses a volume of air and the resulting shape has an average density less than that of the water."
I have a marker which float in water.
No because aircraft carriers are so huge and it can handle lots of punishments. Aircraft carriers are incredibly strong. If you fire one missile at it, it still could float and move even up to twelve missiles and the aircraft carrier will take damages and still can move. If you fire several missiles or more, the whole aircraft carrier will sink.
There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.
It should, it's air tight. An Aircraft carrier floats and it's hugh. Any rocket scientists out there?
Only there's no one on the aircraft carrier.

The USS Eisenhower carrier is the most strongest aircraft carrier in the World.
Carrier fighter vs carrier fighter. Aircraft carrier duels. Carrier planes (naval aircraft) have folding wings/or wing-tips for shipboard operations.
Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga was created on 1929-11-30.
Vikrant class aircraft carrier was created in 2015.
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
Because the marble has a lesser density than water. And also because of the marbles shape and size. :)
French aircraft carrier Béarn was created in 1927-05.
