Why does a ship floating on water move?
because the water carries the ship along with its current
Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?
A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
What makes ship not to sink in water?
It's the way how the ship is built. The ship in the water is able to fully displace water equal to it own weight, so that the water exerts a greater upthrust on the ship, than the ship is able to exert on the water with its weight. The net upthrust results in the ship staying afloat. If at any point the ship is not able to displace an amount of water equal to its weight, it will keep sinking until EITHER the ship finally displaces the right amount of water and begins to float OR the ship cannot displace enough water and becomes completely submerged, and sinks to the bottom of the body of water.
Why a stone sink in water but a ship floats on water surface?
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
Why does iron ship floats in water?
Because the weight of the water that they displace is greater than the weight of the ship.
What makes ship in the ship in the sea move?
water
Why does a ship floating on water move?

How did the Viking ship move?
Te they moved by travelling on water
How does a ship floating on water move?
Engine. Oars. Sails. Towrope
Why do a ship needs sails?
They do because before ships had motors to make them move in the water. With the sails the wind would push the ship.
How does a ship move?
some ships move by wind or a flag.
What does a ship move?
cargo2.people:)
Can a ship move backwards?
Yes.
What effect does the temperature of water have on the upthrust of the water on a ship?
when water is heated, its density decreases because the molecules move farther away . as we know,upthrust in a liquid is directly propotional to its density ,the upthrust decreases
What does a ship's boiler do?
It boils water on a ship.

What is the definition of water displacement?
If you were to submerge a cube that is 1MX1MX1M in water you would "displace" or move one cubic meter of water. The cube would be where water was, so it is said that the water was displaced. One measure of a ship is how much water is displaced when the ship floats. Something that is floating will displace its own weight in water.Water displacement moes the water so you can tell the volume of an object. Also... Displacement is a measure of mass as in a ship's displacement. A ship will displace the amount of water equal to it's mass or weight. The amount of water displaced, by volume, can vary depending on whether the ship is in salt water or fresh water. A ship will displace less water in the ocean than it will, let's say in a river. A gallon (US) of sea water weighs about 8.55lbs (3.88kg), while a gallon (US) weighs about 8.35lbs (3.79kg). If the same ship were in a river or lake of fresh water it would sit lower in the fresh water then it would in the ocean. Ocean's water, being heaver, is then more buoyant.
