Wood floats in water.
If it floats on the water.
A boat floats by keeping water outside, regardless of any material
raft, boat
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
"You look fit to be tide." "Going my way?" "Whatever floats your boat."
An aluminum foil boat floats because it is more dense than water, therefore the surface tension of the water is able to hold the boat up.
If your boat capsizes and floats away, there are various things that you can do. The most important thing is to try and float and shout for help. If you are not very far from the shore, you can swim out of the water.
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.
it is a boat with wheels or a car that floats
A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board. The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and the surface level in the pool must rise.
