Ships float submarines sink?

Wrong!!!! Ships float, and submarines also float. However, submarines have special buoyancy tanks, which are filled with sea-water, which then makes then sink. The air in these tanks is removed by a vacuum, out into compressed air cylinders. , this allows water to enter and hence the submarine sinks. To make the submarine re-surface, the compressed air in the compression tanks is blown back into the buoyancy tanks, thereby pushing out the sea-water, hence the submarine re-surfaces(floats). Remember the Archimedian Principle. 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'. As an experiment to yourself, obtain a spring balance, an house brick and a tanks of water. Attach the brick to the spring balance, with a piece of string, and note the weight in air. Now keeping the brick attached to the spring balance lower it into the water of the water tank, and note the new less weight. The difference in the weight is the weight of the water displaced by the brick. Hence Archimedes principle and the reason why ships and submarines can float, because the displace less water.


Is the buoyancy force or the weight of the block larger?

it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger


BUOYANCY in liquid?

Buoyancy regards flotation based on its displacement over a liquid. By the principal and phenomena of buoyancy the flotation of ships and bodies over water is possible.


What is a real world example of buoyancy?

Ships, boats etc.


How does buoyancy occur?

Buoyancy occurs in fluids, which are gases and liquids. Hot air balloons are buoyant in air and ships are buoyant in water for examples. When the buoyancy of objects exceeds the weight of those objects, the objects rise. When the weight exceeds the buoyancy they sink. And when the buoyancy equals the weight of the objects they float.


What explanation for ships lost in the Bermuda Triangle involves ships suddenly losing buoyancy and sinking quickly?

I have no idea


Why do ships floats on the surface of the sea scientific reason?

The principle of Displacement gives 'rise' to buoyancy. When a ship is put upon water with a cargo weight less than the weight of water that the fully loaded ship displaces, it will float.


Can metal ships float?

It depends. A steel ship will float just fine, so will an iron one(i.e. Old Ironsides). It all depends on the size, weight, and buoyancy of the ship.


Can steel buoyant?

For one, buoyancy has to do with how dense something is, that's why ships are hollow.


The balance between gravity and buoyancy is called?

What buoyancy mean?

Non-buoyancy means that an object does not float (I think).


What makes an object seem to weight less when you hold it in a pool of water?

This phenomenon is called buoyancy and is caused by the object displacing water equal to its volume. If the weight of the object is less than the weight of this displaced water, then the object has positive buoyancy and will float. If the weight of the object is exactly equal to the weight of this displaced water, then the object has neutral buoyancy and thus be weightless. If the weight of the object is greater than the weight of this displaced water, then the object has negative buoyancy and will sink but it still weighs less than it did out of the water.Just remember buoyancy only affects the weight of the object, it has no effect on the mass of the object which remains constant in or out of water.
