Well, a good boat is.
Less dense. a simple example will explain why; imagine a boat , it's howl is a metal frame about one inch thick with metal , and the deck. between the top deck and the bottom bowl are huge spacer's with air. this is less dense and the boat floats. Now imagine the howl filled with just metal to the deck, a solid object, more dense. What happens?..Boat sinks.
Ice is less dense than water
Because the boat has a special shape that makes it less dense than water.
Boats float better in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher salinity of salt water increases the buoyant force that supports the boat, making it easier for the boat to float. In comparison, fresh water has a lower density, resulting in less buoyancy and potentially making it more difficult for boats to float.
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
no
Oil IS already less dense than water.
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Yes. Anything that is less dense than water will float on water.
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
zinc is more dense than water
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
