Why does a steel ball sink in water but a toy ship made of steel floats?

Density of a steel ball is greater than the den. Of h2o - it sinks similarly den. Of a toy ship is less than the den. Of h2o - it floats


Why does a steel ship float?

A steel ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat.


What are 2 reason a steel ship floats in water?

A steel ship floats in water because of its shape and displacement. The design of the ship creates enough buoyant force to counteract its weight, allowing it to stay afloat. Additionally, the steel hull of the ship displaces enough water to keep it buoyant.


How ship floats on water surface?

The density of the VOLUME of the ship is less than the density of the water it displaces (pushes out of the way). While the steel of a steel hulled ship is denser than water, the steel plus the air enclosed by the steel is less dense.


A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?

The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.


How does a steel ship float in water?

A steel ship floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The shape of the ship's hull also helps distribute the weight evenly, helping it to float.


What is reason that a steel ship floats while a steel needle sinks?

The steel ship floats because of its shape and displacement of water, creating an upward buoyant force greater than its weight. The steel needle sinks because of its small volume and weight relative to its size, leading to a downward force greater than the buoyant force acting on it.


How come a nail sinks and a metal ship floats?

An object will sink if its density is greater than that of water (or another liquid in which it is placed). If its density is less, it will float. In the case of the ship, the air in the ship helps reduce the total density.

What is a ship made from?

mainly ship is made of mild steel... It is given hydrodynamic shape... By Archimedes principle it floats.. sacrificial anode is provided at the aft so that it gets consumed rather than the hull of the ship and then only it is replaced


When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?

it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
