Why does the buoyant force keep a ship floating?
The buoyant force on a ship (or any object in a liquid) is equal to the weight of the water the displaces. If this force is greater than the weight of the ship, it will stay afloat.
Why can a cruise ship stay a float in the ocean when it is more dense than water?
It is not more dense than water. Density is mass/volume; although made of materials heavier than water its enclosed volume is so high that its density is lower than water.
Can a tornado stay in one spot?
Yest, tornadoes have been known to remain on one spot, though it is rare.
Why does a steel ship not sink in water?
There is air inside the ship's hull below the waterline. This means that the average density (the ship, its cargo, the air in the hull) is less than that of the water being displaced by the hull. If you filled the ship with something heavier (coal, lead pellets), it would reach a point where the average density was greater than the water displaced, and the ship would sink. If a ship gets a hole in its hull, water replaces the air inside and the ship goes down.
If a liquid is poured from a tall bottle into a shallow pan does its shape or volume changes?
The shape can change, the volume will stay the same.
How does a ship stay on top of water?
a ship stays on water frombuoyancy which makes it float. the saltier the water the more buoyancy there is, enabling more weight to float on top
How do fish hover?
How can they hover? Their in WATER. But if your talking about them in the water they move their fins in circles to stay in one spot.
How did the manatee adapt to its surroundings?
they avoid deep water and stay in the shallow waters so that they can easily reach food and resurface the water to breathe.
Why did the water - tight compartments not stop the ship from sinking?
The ship was designed and built to stay afloat if four watertight compartments were breached, but the iceberg breached five compartments, so the ship couldn't stay afloat
Why do desert plants have shallow roots?
Due to an abundance of water the plants roots don't have to go deep to find water, therefore they stay in shallow terrain.
Do freshwater puffer fish stay on shallow water or deep water?
i think in deep water because this types of fish that are protected by their body usually live in deep water which is predetorful. thank u!
How do you stay on rock hoppers ship?
You stay on Rockhopper's ship by not getting off his ship, that is going into some other room.
Why does the buoyant force keep a ship floating?
The buoyant force on a ship (or any object in a liquid) is equal to the weight of the water the displaces. If this force is greater than the weight of the ship, it will stay afloat.
How does ship stay afloat?
The ship floats because of its large volume which displaces an amount of water that is more than its weight. That creates an upward force called buoyant force which keeps the ship on the surface.
Who is the cruise tourist?
are tourist who arrive and stay on a cruise ship are tourist who arrive and stay on a cruise ship
When ship reaches a shipyard will the water level increase or decrease?
It will not change at all as the shipyard is still part of the ocean, lake or river that the ship has sailed in from. Even if the ship gets sailed into a dry dock, the level will stay the same after the doors are closed and before the water is pumped out.
How manatees escape from their enemies?
They usually stay near shallow water so if they are attacked they are less likely to be dragged under water for more than 15 minutes, thats how long they can hold there breath.
