Why does a ship built from heavy metal float on water while metal actually sink in water?
An object will sink in water if it has a greater density than the water. This refers to the object's TOTAL or AVERAGE density, not necessarily the density of individual parts. Specifically, in the case of a ship, it includes the air that is trapped inside.
What problem did many sailors have as they abandoned ship in the pearl harbor?
Burning fuel/oil on the surface of the water
What is a ship wreck?
a ship wreck is when a ship sinks and floats to the bottem of the ocean were it is filled with water and creatures of the sea.
Why is ship not sink in sea?
Because the weight of the water it displaces is more than the weight of the ship itself.============================Because the weight of the water it displaces exactly equals the weight of the shipitself. Think of the water that was originally occupying the place where the ship nowis. That water didn't sink because it was supported by the overall pressure frombelow. Putting the ship there means that the force balance is precisely the same.Remember, compared with solid iron, a ship is mostly empty space.
How many men is still traped in side USS Arizona?
As of now, there are no men trapped inside the USS Arizona. The ship, which was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, is a memorial site, and the remains of the ship contain the remains of 1,102 service members who are still entombed within it. Efforts to recover any remains have not been undertaken due to the ship's status as a war memorial and the respect for those lost.
Why is air pumped into a sunken ship to raise it to the surface?
When air is pumped into a sunken ship, it acts as a floater. The air boosts the sunken ship's buoyancy and helps the trapped water to escape.
How can a ship made out of steel with a density much higher than the density of water float on the water?
The steel has a density greater than water; but the ship does not. To calculate density, you divide mass by volume. This includes the mass - and the volume - of any air trapped inside the ship.
What do you call a ship that goes under water?

What is a ship that travels under water called?

When was Henry Hudsons ship trapped by ice?
in October
Why does ship flow on water?
In general, an object will float if its density is less than the liquid (or gas) in which it is placed. In the case of a ship, everything inside the ship - including the air trapped inside - affects the total mass, but especially the total volume.
How can ships float when ships are more dense than water?
If they are more dense than water, then they won't float. Note that to calculate the density, you have to consider the mass and volume of the entire ship, including any air trapped inside the ship.
What happened to many passengers aboard the Titanic after it sunk?
It was presumed that many of them drowned or froze to death in the chilling waters, or died when they were trapped in the sinking ship. Those that managed to get onto lifeboats, or were picked up after the ship sank (13 of them picked up from the water) added up to 710 survivors out of 2,224 passengers.
Why is the island called ship trapped island?
Lots of ships run aground there and the sailors become trapped on the island.
