Will a steel bar float in water?
I think it can float on water.
Why do ships float in deep water?
Because they weight of the water they displace is more than they weigh themselves. in another way: for something to float the density of the object has to be lesser than the density of the liquid it's submerged into. And although ships are heavy they aren't as heavy as a lump of water shaped just like the ship would be.
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
What can you infer about density of a substance floats in water?
You can infer very little about the density of the substance. Ships made of steel, with a density much greater than that of water, can float.
How much water is nedeed to float a ship?
ships float due to bouyant force how much water they dislace
Could steel float on water?
No it is to heavy
Who was the first scienctist to figure out how steel ships float on water?
archemedes
Why won't steel marbles help you float?
Because, your body weight is to heavy for steel to Carrie on water, and they will role away.
How does the shape of a steel ship allowed to ship to float?
small water displacment compared to ships size
How does the ship of a steel ship allow the ship to float?
small water displacment compared to ships size
Why can big heavy ships float on water?
Because the boat has a special shape that makes it less dense than water.
How is it impossible for extremely heavy objects like large ships and barges to stay a float?
It is not impossible. Ships do stay afloat. <><><> While they ARE heavy, they weigh less than the water they displace.
Will a steel bar float in water?
I think it can float on water.
Why do ships made of steel float instead of of sinking since steel is dencer than water?
I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.

What will happen to a solid made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
