No.
They rise to the surface when air is pumped IN. They sink when air is let out
They use ballast tanks to contain sea water or air to control their depth
Submarines change their depth by use of ballast tanks. To dive, they open their tanks so that they become filled with water. They also angle their dive planes. To surface, they pump the water out of their tanks and fill them with pressurised air.
Submarines are designed with enough ballast and control systems to allow them to submerge and surface as needed.Surface ships are designed only with enough ballast and control systems to keep them on the surface. While they can sink just as well as submarines can, their ability to re-surface without a salvage operation is non-existent.
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
a submarine has a water tank. when the tank is filled then submarine sink in the water. and when the tank is empty then submarine float in water. use the formula density= mass / volume as mass increases(when the tank is full of water), the density of the submarine increases and it submerge into the water and vice versa.
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.
