When you enter a submarine underneath the water does water enter in the submarine?

Yes and no - though water never enters the crew compartment, there are accesses known as escape trunks that are primarily designed for escape use by crews of a sunken submarine. However, they're also used for exit/entry by rescue divers/crew or SEAL teams. Each trunk has an outer and an inner hatch; the space between hatches is used to let water in to flood the trunk and to equalize the pressure to the surrounding sea pressure, in order to allow opening of the outer hatch.
The trunk is accessed from the pressure hull (crew compartment) via the inner hatch, and then the inner hatch is sealed. The trunk is then flooded until the pressure is equalized, and then the occupants exit. After the occupants have exited and closed the outer hatch, the trunk is emptied of water using high pressure air. Once it's purged of water, the air pressure inside the trunk is then equalized with the air pressure inside the crew compartment, so the inner hatch can be opened again and the process restarted.

How does water enter a submarine?
Water enters the submarine by entering through the butthole and leaving from the propellers
How does water enter the submarine?
Water enters the submarine by letting water out not into its ballast tanks it enters from the flagura to the magura.
How do submarine volcanoes act underwater?
Submarine volcanoes act the same way on top of the surface of the earth as under the water. The only difference is that, unlike on top of the ocean, it explodes UNDERNEATH the water. Yes, that is the answer to your unexplainable question.
How do you use the word underneath in a sentence?
I keep my shoes underneath my bed. A submarine is most effective when it is underneath the surface of the sea.
How is pressure used in the control of a submarine's ability to dive?
The process of a submarine to move from the surface of the ocean to a position underneath the surface is called a dive. This is accomplished by allowing water to fill the tanks of the submarine, the heavy water pressure now inside the vessel now will force it to sink below the surface, thus a "dive".
How do fluids help ballast chambers on a submarine?
A submarine actually controls its weight by allowing water to enter or exit hollow chambers in its hull. These chambers are called ballast tanks. Ballast is anything carried in a ship to give stability. When water is allowed to flood into a submarine's ballast tanks, the weight of the submarine increases. When this increased weight exceeds the submarine's buoyancy, the submarine will sink. To allow the submarine to rise, air is pumped into the ballast tanks. The air forces out the water, reducing the weight of the submarine. The submarine then becomes lighter, buoyancy increases, and it floats to the surface. A submarine can also be made to "float" underwater at any depth by adjusting the amount of water weight in its ballast tanks.
How do people enter and exit the submarine?
from the entrance :P +++ Through hatches designed to withstand the pressure of the sea water when submerged.
Why does a submarine can sink and float in water?
because the submarine has the water tank.when the tank is filled then submarine sink in the water.and when the tank is empty then submarine float in water.
How does water pressure affect a submarine?
When a submarine goes farther down in the water, the water pressure becomes greater. If the submarine goes to far, pipes can explode and let in water, or it can implode the submarine
Can water exert pressure on a submarine?
Yes, water exerts pressure on the hull of the submarine.
A sentence with submarine in it?
A submarine is only used under water.
Does the latin prefix sub mean underneath or it means high above?
The Latin prefix "sub" typically means underneath or below. It is used to indicate a position of lesser importance or status.
