because the boat is made out of stuff that can float
A boat
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.
no they dont float like normal people
i dont no but why dont you fill a sink with water and lkay an orange on top of it then you'll see if it floats
Yes it does because depending on the materials of the boat and how much their mass is can change the buoyancy of the toy boat. Boat can be designed to have less volume in order for it to have less density and be able to float. So if the material's mass is alot if can make the boat sink. If the material's mass is not alot then it can help the boat float. If the shape is designed to have more volume than mass it will float. If not then it will sink.
All plastic items float on water, so therefore a plastic boat floats on water.
that a car should float and that a boat should sink
Boats can sink. They are usually made of materials that allow them to displace water, and permit them to float. From time to time, that material will break down, and the boat will sink.
The weight of the boat displaces the same weight of water, and while there is still sides of the boat above the surface, the boat will float. If such an open boat is swamped, the gunnels may sink to sea level, and may even sink beneath. Usually, water-tight compartments, light, floating material, and any wood in the boat's construction, will help prevent the boat sinking entirely, if at all.
Bouyancy. A Boat/ship is hollowed out to be use to passengers, were as rocks are solid and have a lot less buoyancy.
Provided the boats and the ships displace their weight in water without the water coming inboard, they will float and not sink. A boat made of wood is likely to float even when full of water because wood tends to float. It is all to do with displacement and freeboard.
Actually, humans do float. It's just that some of your clothes weigh you down.For the reason on why boats float, it is because the water is denser than the boat filled with air. If you fill a boat with water, then it will sink.
