How does a coin sink?
Lol if you want to know the way it sinks, drop it in a cup of water. If you want to know why it sinks, its because the coin is far more dense then the water making it sink. The reason it is more dense ia because the molecules that make up the coin are much more compact, while the molecules that make up the water are spread apart.

Why a coin sinks while a ship floats?
Ultraoversimplifying it, the coin is solid metal all the way through and weighs more than its volume of water, the ship has a large space filled with air inside it resulting in the weight of the ship and cargo being less than the weight of the volume of water it occupies.This is called buoyancy: the coin has negative buoyancy and sinks, the ship has positive buoyancy and floats.

Why when you Flush hot water gets hot in sinks and showers?
When you flush your toilet, cold water is used, this diverts cold water from the sinks and showers, resulting in diminished cold water flow momentarily at the sinks and showers, so, less cold mixed with hot, = hotter sinks and showers.
does a coin sink or float?
The reason the pennies sink in water is because of an idea called density. The pennies have more density than the water, and so the pennies sink. Anything with more density than water will sink in water, but other objects that have less density than water will float.
Water that sinks into soil?
