Why would a canoe sink if there is a leak in it?
B/ the hull would no longer displace water - as waster would be inside.
How do Crocodiles sink and stay under water?
Crocodiles close there valve to stay under water.
Does a dish drainer tray have to stay in the sink?
No, a dish drainer tray does not have to stay in the sink. You might want to put the draining part in the sink though because that is where the water will drain into.
Why does a fluid sink or rise?
it matters if it lighter or more dense so if you put oil in water together the oil will sink to the bottom and the water will stay at the top
What happens when an object sinks?
An object that has a "net density" greater than the liquid it is placed in will normally sink to the bottom of the container. In some cases, usually for small objects, the surface tensionof the liquid will keep it afloat, but that can change (e.g. adding soap to water reduces surface tension).When sunken, the object is DISPLACING its net volume of liquid. When an object floats, it is only displacing its net weight of liquid.For example, an open steel canoe floats on a lake because its interior contains air, making its net density lower than water. The canoe will sink down partly into the water, and displace a mass of water equal to the mass of the canoe and its occupants. If it is overloaded, and water enters the canoe, it will sink to the bottom of the lake, its net density now being greater than water. The occupants will swim away, and the canoe is now only displacing its net volume (i.e. of the sides and bottom of the boat, and any small closed spaces that water cannot enter).
Will a boat sink more in fresh water or salt water?
The boat will sink lower in fresh water. Try floating in the ocean versus your pool. You will see it is easier to stay afloat in salt water.
Heavy Metal waste can not be thrown down the sink why?
They stay in pipping and can react when mixed with water.
Why does wood sink after being left in water for a while?
because the pieces that make up the wood are spaced out are the reasons it can stay afloat for a while no matter how large it is but when it does stay in the water for a long time the start to become more close together and when that happends they sink.
Where do people canoe?
In water
Why does a concrete canoe float but a concrete block sink?
The block isn't aerodynamic, so it sinks. The boat, no matter what it's constructed with, will be able to float if it's in a shape that will be aerodynamic in water.
Why doesn't a canoe sink?
Canoes do sink. Metal canoes will sink if they are turned sideways and loose their air pocket. Wood canoes normally do not sink if they are not waterlogged as the wood is buoyant. The same can be said for canoes made of other buoyant materials.
If you were in a canoe on a calm lake and you threw a heavy stone into the water in front of you what would the canoe do?
The canoe would move backward a bit.
