Gravity makes a ship float. Gravity pulls harder on the mass of water than the air inside the ship. In this way the water is pulled under the ship, instead of the ship being pulled under the water.

What force helps light objects float on water?
upper-thrust, hope that helpsChloe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYou are probably looking for the word buoyancy. That is the characteristic that enables objects to float.
What is the term for the ability to float on water?
This would include the term "buoyancy", which is not limited to objects that float. An objects whose weight is less than the water displaced by it would float. But an object could become suspended below water by the upward force of bouyancy, which acts on all objects in liquid.
What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?
Objects that float in water are less dense than water; while objects that sink in water are more dense than water.
How does buoyancy affect floating and sinking objects?
Buoyancy affects floating and sinking objects by it allowing it to sink or float. Buoyancy is an upward force that allows something to float on water so yeahs... yupp >___________<
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Why object float in water?
Objects float because the air in the object causes it to rise because it is less denser than water. Objects float better in salt water because the salt makes the water more denser helping even heavier objects to float. -Kimberly P.S. I learned all this in 4th grade!!!!!!!!!!!

Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K

Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
What type of objects will float on top of water?
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
What principle is it when a brick doesn't float on water?
Archimedes' Principle. It all depends on the buoyant force and the densities of the two objects.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
What allows objects to float on water?
An object will float on water if it has less density than water.
