What else can I help you with?
What is a trim ballast tank?
That is a ballast tank used to alter the angle of the submarine up or down
What is the purpose of a submarine's ballast tank?
to keep the sub level or help it to dive and surface
Why does a submarine can sink and float in water?
A submarine can sink and float in water because it has ballast tanks that can be filled with water to make it sink and with air to make it float. By adjusting the amount of water and air in the ballast tanks, the submarine can control its buoyancy and stay submerged at a desired depth or rise back to the surface.
What changes take place in the ballast tanks when a submarine that has been under water rises to the surface?
The change that takes place in the ballast tank is the chief of the boat flips a switch and pumps the water out of them.
How do fluids help ballast chambers on a submarine?
A submarine actually controls its weight by allowing water to enter or exit hollow chambers in its hull. These chambers are called ballast tanks. Ballast is anything carried in a ship to give stability. When water is allowed to flood into a submarine's ballast tanks, the weight of the submarine increases. When this increased weight exceeds the submarine's buoyancy, the submarine will sink. To allow the submarine to rise, air is pumped into the ballast tanks. The air forces out the water, reducing the weight of the submarine. The submarine then becomes lighter, buoyancy increases, and it floats to the surface. A submarine can also be made to "float" underwater at any depth by adjusting the amount of water weight in its ballast tanks.
How is a fish swim bladder similar to a submarine ballast tank?
A fish's swim bladder and a submarine's ballast tank both serve to regulate buoyancy. The swim bladder allows fish to control their position in the water by adjusting the volume of gas it contains, enabling them to float or sink as needed. Similarly, a submarine manages its depth by taking in or expelling water in its ballast tanks to achieve the desired buoyancy. Both mechanisms enable these aquatic entities to maintain stability and maneuverability in their respective environments.
What is a submarines buoyancy?
A submarine has a variable buoyancy due to it's ballast tanks. When a submarine submerges, it fills it's ballast tanks with water which causes negative buoyancy. When a submarine surfaces, it pumps the water out of the ballast tanks thus giving it positive buoyancy.
What are the purpose of ballast tanks?
to control the buoyancy of a submarine
Where might the air come from to replace the water that is pumped out of a submarines s ballast tanks?
The air to replace the water in a submarine's ballast tanks typically comes from high-pressure air banks stored onboard the submarine. These air banks are filled with compressed air from the submarine's air compressors and are used to control the submarine's buoyancy by adjusting the amount of air in the ballast tanks.
What are the steps to submerge a submarine?
To submerge a submarine, the crew first ensures all hatches are secure and the vessel is ready for diving. Then, they activate the ballast system, which fills ballast tanks with water, increasing the submarine's weight and causing it to sink. The crew monitors depth and pressure, adjusting the ballast as needed to control the descent. Finally, once submerged, they can trim the submarine to maintain a desired depth.
Where did they got the idea of making submarine.?
Theygot the idea from the fishes to build a submarine. As fishes have swim bladder they kept ballast tanks in the submarine.
How does water enter the submarine?
Water enters the submarine by letting water out not into its ballast tanks it enters from the flagura to the magura.
