What force allows objects to float in liquids?
Buoyancy
What force in fluids described by Archimedes'principle allows objects to float?
bouyancy
What is floating in physics?
Nothing "floats in gravity." Floating in a result of the buoyancy force provided by a fluid. Balloons float because of the buoyancy force from air. Boats float because of the buoyancy force from water. Objects that appear to float in space are usually in orbit, which is actually a state of freefall.
Why is a ship able to float on water?
A ship can float on water because of buoyancy. The shape of the ship and the displacement of the water it pushes aside when it enters the water create an upward force that counteracts the downward force of gravity. This buoyant force allows the ship to float and support its own weight.
Why do boats float and ships sink?
Provided the boats and the ships displace their weight in water without the water coming inboard, they will float and not sink. A boat made of wood is likely to float even when full of water because wood tends to float. It is all to do with displacement and freeboard.
How does the design of large boats allow them to float?
no design matters. it is the force of water resistance and upthrust that are level that allows any boat to float
What force causes boats to float?
displacement
What force in fluids allows objects to float?
Buoyancy
Which force allows things to float in water?
nothing
What force allows objects to float in liquids?
Buoyancy
Do boats have to float?
If boats didn't float, they wouldn't be boats, they'd be anchors.
What is the name of the force that allows a balloon to float in air?
helium
what allows aluminum boats to float?
The boats displace water in such a way that they remain afloat. Hence why most boats have a V hull shape. This allows them to displace the water and remain afloat, if on the other hand you put to much in a boat it will eventually sink.
What fluid force allows objects to float?
Cohension; surface tension
What force in fluids described by Archimedes'principle allows objects to float?
bouyancy
Which force in fluids described by Archimedes's principle allows objects to float?
buoyancy
What are advantages for boats?
They float.
