What keeps a boat floating?
A boat floats, because the fluid in which it is floating offsets the downward pull of gravity and pushes it up. The scientific name for this force, which allows even immense objects to float in liquid, is called buoyancy.
How is the letter w like a boat?
Because it can hold 4 people and floats
What is bouyont force?
It is the force exerted by a fluid equivalent to the weight of fluid that has been displaced by the substance that has immersed in it. A boat floats in water because the weight of water displaced by the boat is greater than the weight of the boat. Weight depends very much on Gravity and so if there is no gravity (such as objects in orbit) there can be no bouyancy effects either.
What is a boat car?

Does air exert a buoyant force and Why does a boat floating in water not rise right up through the air?
A boat floats in water because it is less dense than water. It does not fly into the air because it is far denser than air. Air can sometimes exert a buoyant force, for example a full balloon of air placed in a bath of water will rise to the surface.
What part of the boat makes it float?
The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.
Why do boats float if they are made of materials that normally sink?
because inside the boat has air. think when u blow up a ballon it floats same with a boat the out side of the boat is metal
How does aluminum foil boat float?
An aluminum foil boat floats because it is more dense than water, therefore the surface tension of the water is able to hold the boat up.
