Can a dolphin jump high enough out of the water to jump in a boat?

Well I suppose they can seeing as they can jump out of the water in the first place. If a speedboat is speeding at a dolphin at the right speed and the dolphin jumps out of the water at the right time, the dolphin should land in the boat.

How high was the water in Noahs flood?
Deep enough to float your boat.
Does the shape of the boat make it float?
The shape of the boat only affects how much energy is needed to move it (overcome friction) when floating on water. The boat has to have a high-enough profile so that when it is placed in water, it will not take on water. The amount of water displaced by the boat counteracts the weight of the boat exactly. When a 200-pound person steps into the boat, the boat will sink to displace an extra amount of water, the weight of which equal to 200 lbs. That is assuming the boat has not sunk yet.
How high can a dolphin jmp ot of the water?
Approx. 5 meters from the surface of the water.
What does high and dry mean?
Leaving you high and dry is leaving you stranded, like a boat out of water.
What are the chances of a boy falling off a boat and surviving?
Quite high regardy such things like the tempetature of the or where the boat was. If it was a cold water and the water was cold hympohermia could kick in. But your chances are high if survival
What are the Ohio boat laws regarding standing in the stern?
It is illegal to stand in the stern if a boat is under way. The exception to this is if the transom is high enough to prevent one from falling overboard.
Why a wooden boat floats on water?
Well, wood is lighter than water, so it floats, but that has very little to do with why a boat floats. You could make a boat out of just about any material that was rigid enough to hold its shape, and strong enough to not crack under the pressure a boat is subjected to, and, if built to the correct dimensions, it would float. A boat floats because the volume of water it displaces when placed in water has a higher weight than the weight of the boat and everything in it. When you put a boat in the water, it "displaces" (pushes aside) a volume of water equal to the volume of the boat up to the waterline. How much water is displaced depends on how heavy the boat and its contents are. As long as that weight is not greater than the volume of water the boat displaces, the boat will float. But remember, as you place more weight in the boat, it sinks lower in the water, therefore displacing more water, so the weight of water being dispaced is increasing too, though not as fast as the weight of the boat. Eventually, if you keep adding weight to the boat, the boat will weigh more than the water it displaces, and the top of the boat will sink below the water. At that point, water will get inside the boat and quickly add more weight to the boat, causing it to sink rapidly. Another way of looking at it. A boat floats by spreading out the weight of its contents over a larger volume than they would normally occupy, thereby lowering the density of the boat and its contents. This would not work if the boat was a flat piece of wood. The wood itself would float, but you couldn't put much weight on it before it sank. However, if you took that same piece of wood and built a structure (a box with the top side open is the simplest) that had a hollow volume that was prevented from being filled with water, the inclusion of that hollow volume increases volume without increasing weight, which means the density decreases. Ultimately, when you place any object in water, whether it floats or not depends on its density. Adding passengers or other dense objects to the inside of the boat will increase its weight (it will also increase the volume of the boat, if the objects are not fully contained within the volume below the top of the boat, but volume does not increase as much as weight does, so density increases.) At the point where the density of the boat and its contents exceeds the density of the water, the boat will sink. However, some time before that point, the density of the boat will be high enough to push it down in the water enough for water to start spilling over the sides, which will rapidly increase the weight of the boat, with no increase in volume, resulting in a rapid increase in density, causing the boat to sink like a rock. So, if you're looking at in terms of density rather than displacement, you need to assume that objects placed inside the boat, even if they do not fit in the original volume of the boat, do not increase the volume of the boat used in your calculations. In other words, assume that all objects fit neatly inside the original volume of the boat without increasing its volume. So that, when you are computing the density of the boat and its contents, the volume in the denominator remains constant at the original volume of the boat alone.
What is its called when a whales jump high out of the water?
Dolphins actually do not "jump" out of the water but more propel themselves towards the top of the water at a rate such that the dolphin appears to be jumping. This is a common misconception.
How high can a baby dolphin jump?
The bottle-nose dolphin can make a high jump by using its tail to propel itself at reasonable speeds through the water, then it aims itself towards the surface, making an amazing, at least 3-foot jump.
Why is it that most animals can not survive when they are exposed to high temperatures?
They dry out and not have enough water.
How do your muscles continue to get energy during high levels of activity when there is not enough energy?
The muscles continue to get enough energy during high levels of activity when there is not enough oxygen through the absorption of water. It is a good idea to drink water frequently when doing strenuous exercise.
What if your boat runs aground at high speeds what should you do first?
That would be determined by the type of boat! First thing would be to determine if the boat is taking on water. If not, then determine the condition of your running gear and steering. If all is well, wait for high tide to float you off the shallows or get assistance and be towed off.
