Why did density have to do with salt and egg float?
Put an egg in fresh water and it will sink. Put the egg in heavily salted water and it will float near the surface. This is because the salt makes the water more dense and able to support more weight. The same goes for a ship. A ship will settle lower in fresh water and the same ship will float higher in the oceans.
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
Compared with an empty ship would a ship loaded with cargo of foam insulation sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship that weighs 1,000 pounds displaces 1,000 pounds of water. Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-o you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.
What is more dense than water but floats on water?
a ship
How do people on board the ship prepare themselves for cold weather?
They bring coats.
What happens to the hull of a ship if it is operated for long periods of time in water temperatures that are freezing?
The metal gets cold, the water freezes over, and the ship gets stuck.
Which ship that's goes under of water?
A submarine.
What do you call a ship that goes under water?
A submarine.
What kind of vehicle goes in water?
A subarine and a boat, ship.
What happens to the travel time of the wave when the ship is over the flat plain?
it goes slower
Why does a ship sink lower in hot water than in cold?
The ships go lower in hot water because it is less dense than the cold water. The molecules in the cold water are more stationary than in warn water when they are moving faster so it is not as solid.
What is an example of the application of Archimedes' principle in daily life?
A ship floats on the surface of the sea because the volume of water displaced by the ship is enough to have a weight equal to the weight of the ship. A ship is constructed in a way so that the shape is hollow, to make the overall density of the ship lesser than the sea water. Therefore, the buoyant force acting on the ship is large enough to support its weight.The density of sea water varies with location.A ship submerge lower in fresh water as fresh water density is lesser than sea water. Ships will float higher in cold water as cold water has a relatively higher density than warm water. This is the example of Archimedes' principle.
What happens if the plimsoll line is below the level of the water?
The plimsoll line is a reference mark painted on the bow of a ship. If the line is below the water level, the ship is overloaded. There are lines for when on fresh water and when on salt water.
What happens when a ship enters a sea from a river?
The ship will rise upward as the density of the sea water is greater than that of the river water. So the volume of the displaced sea water is less than that of the river water.
What happens when ship rise enters the sea from a river?
A sea has salty water so therefore it has a higher density than river water. The sea basically is "thicker water" so the ship will rise.
What happens when a ship enters the sea from a river?
The boat will rise because salt water is denser than river water.
Did jack in titanic get saved?
He died when he and rose were hanging onto ship depris in freezing cold water.
