What makes boats float on water?
Bouyancy is what makes a boat float
Which gas makes lime water milky?
stable amounts of glucose iodine does this.
What will make a boat hold weight?
How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
Why do boats sink when they have a hole?
The water from around the boat enters through a hole. If the material of the boat is heavier than water, or the materials inside the boat make it heavier than water (on the average) then replacing the air in the boat with water will remove its buoyancy and it may sink.The air that is in the boat is lighter than the water that takes its place, which makes the boat ride lower until it sinks. The water comes into the boat because water is more dense than air and will displace it. It can be said that water seeks its own level - the water inside the boat will rise to the same level as the water outside of the boat.

What makes waves by boats moving through the water?
When a boat moves through water, the energy transfers from the moving boat to the stagnant water. The energy ripples through the water causing the wave-like movements.
What is a partially filled outer electron level makes with?
A completley filled out electron level makes the atom stable
What is a charactristic of catamaran hull?
A catamaran is a boat with two hulls connected over the water. This design is very stable compared to single hull.
What part of the boat makes it float?
The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.
When you step out of a boat onto the dock the moves why?
Either the it's a floating dock or your brain is still set for being on the boat. It adjusts to the up and down motion of the choppy sea to be able to keep you stable. When you get out of the boat your brain is still functioning as if it were on the water.
What makes a bost float?
I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.
Why can big heavy ships float on water?
Because the boat has a special shape that makes it less dense than water.
