Displacement. The ship may weigh a lot, but it displaces its mass in water.

It should not sink if designed right. Say Eureka.

Do objects with large masses always have a large density?

The density of the planet Saturn is less than ' 1 '. If some kind of enormous ocean of water existed somewhere, Saturn could float in it. Even though Saturn has quite a fair amount of mass.


Does mass determine an object will float or sink?

No. A toothpick and a tiny stone both have small mass, but one floats and the other sinks. A passenger ferry and a large boulder both have large mass, but one floats and the other sinks. It's not the mass that determines whether the object will float. It's the ratio of its mass to its volume ... the number known as the object's "density".


Is bouyancy determined by muscle mass?

no fat people float ( or i wouldn't be answering) it may play a factor though


Why does a slow moving train have a large momentum?

A slow-moving train has a large momentum because momentum is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object. Even though the train may be slow, its large mass contributes to a significant momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity that accounts for both the object's mass and its motion.


Is it true that object with large mass float?

Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.


What makes us float?

We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.


How can a large ship float in water?

A large ship can float in water due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The shape of the ship's hull and the distribution of weight also play a role in helping it float.


Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?

Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.


A large rock is weathered into tiny pieces which add up to the weight of the original rock This demonstrates the conservation of?

This demonstrates the conservation of mass, as the total mass of the rock remains the same even though it has been weathered into smaller pieces.


Why does the egg float in salt water?

Egg float in water because the mass of the water is less than the mass of the egg.


Does mass affect whether or not an object will float?

no and mass is air
