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.
What carries no weight but can sink a ship?
a hole.
Why does a piece of stone sink in water but a ship with a huge weight floats?
The ship is hollow. The stone isn't. The air trapped inside the ship allows it to float - despite it weight.
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.
How steel can make a ship float?
An object will float if it has a density that is less than that of water. Or whatever liquid it is placed on. In the case of a ship, that includes not just the steel, but the entire ship - including air trapped inside the ship.

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.
