What is heavy water and why did Hitler want some?
Heavy water is water with some gases extracted.if you put it in a barrel and put the barrel in water the barrel would sink.Theonly reason Hitler wanted heavy water was because heavy water is used in atomic bombs.the only place he could get the heavy water was Norway. fortunately the Brit's blew up the only cargo ship carrying the heavy water back to Germany...some heavy water is lost in a lake somewhere in norway...lost in time forever.
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
What holds a ship in place?
Water has the power to keep things afloat. If this power is greater than the weight of the ship, the ship will float. But if the ship is too heavy or gets full of water, it will sink. To understand how, we must remember the old Archimedes principle that when a body is immersed in water it is held up by a force equal to the weight of the water it displaces. We call this force buoyancy. Even a metal object, if it is shaped like a wash basin, for example, will be buoyant and float. But if it fills up with water, it will quickly sink. Ship bottoms are shaped so that when a ship leans over, it always becomes level again. The docks of ships act like covers to keep water from getting inside and making the ship too heavy. When it has no cargo a ship floats high in the water. Even when it is fully loaded, a ship will not sink. This is because the load line will be above the water.
Is a cannon on land called differently than on a ship?
No, a cannon on land is called the same as one on a ship. The term "cannon" refers to a large, heavy firearm that is typically mounted on a carriage or a ship's deck to shoot projectiles.
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 a heavy piece of metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving?
An anchor is a heavy piece of metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving.
Which ship was designed for carring cargo?
Container ship.
How does a ship floats on the water being heavy?
Surface area.
What are 2 reason a steel ship floats in water?
1. The hull of the ship is filled with air, not water. 2. The ship is heavy so is partially submerged.
Why bottom of ship made heavy?
so space ships do not dive in the water
Why can big heavy steel ships float on water?
a big heavy steel ship floats on water because the volume is mostly air. trust me its true.
A piece of heavy metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving?
it means anchor
Which ship arrives second why is it surprising that it arrives before Othello's?
the ship carring iago, emilia, desdemona and roderigo arrive second. Not sure about why it would be suprising about othllo
What does density of a ship's cargo have to do with the volume of the cargo the ship can carry?
The Cargo must weigh less than the ship, and although heavy, ships are less dense than water.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy

Why does ships float on water?
because the force of the water (thrust) is holding the weight of the ship as the ship weight is evenly balanced so no side of the ship is too heavy when compared to the other side my name is Farahan Ali and Charlee cowee
