What kind of boat does water current effect the most?
displacement sailboat
What invention had the greatest effect on GA's economy in the 1800s?
the steam boat was the most affective...
How fast did steamboats go?
The speed of a steamboat varied depending on the size of the boat and whether or not it was moving with the current. Most boats went about 6 to 10 miles per hour on the water.
Why is it the boat is not sinking if the earth has a gravity?
This is simply because of the weight of the water versus the weight of the boat. The water push upward with a force equal to the weight of the water the boat push away. It is self stabilizing. The deeper the boat lie, the more water it push away, and the more will the water push back at the boat. Of course, if you fill the boat, then it will most likely sink, but here again it depends on what material the boat is made of. If the total volume of materials in boat weigh less than equal volume of water, the boat will still be floating.
What is the Effect of zero gravity on water?
Without any other influences (air current, pokey fingers) water forms a sphere in zero gravity. Most astronauts like to play with spheres of water (or juice or other liquids).
Why is a wooden boat most likely to be struck by lightning?
it is the tallest object in the water.
When do you use your bilge pump in your boat?
The typical bilge pump in most boats is automatic. It has a switch that is activated by rising water. Most also have a manual switch so you can turn it on if for some reason the float witch doesn't work. Most of these pumps are for incidental water only, such as rain water or water that splashes into the boat. They will not handle major flooding, especially if the boat floods and the battery is submerged killing the power.
What does boat motor trim do?
Changing the trim angle of an outboard, causes the bow of the boat to raise higher, or drop lower, to the surface of the water. It is used most often to soften the ride in rough or choppy water, or to plane the boat out quickly.
How does Alaska current affects the climate of western British Columbia and southern Alaska?
The Alaska Current is a warm-water eddy current resulting from the northward diversion of a portion of the North Pacific Current when that current meets the west coast of the North American continent. It is warmer than most sub-Arctic Pacific water with temperatures above 39° F (4° C). As such, it has a warming effect on the climate of British Colombia and southern Alaska

How does a boat operate?
The part of a boat that is under water has the same volume as the amount of water that weighs the same as the boat and everything in it. That is why a boat goes lower into the water whenever somebody boards. Propulsion is acheived by taking advantage of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. To move the boat in a certain direction, water is pushed in the opposite direction. Most boats use a propeller to push the water, but it can also be pushed by oars, a water wheel, a jet, etc.
Is displacement how far you travel when you change position?
Displacemnet is when something moves something else out of a space and then occupies that space. Most common example is a boat in water. When the boat enters the water it takes up the space in the water that it displaces.
