The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.
A substance that has more density than the liquid will sink. With less density, it will float.
The shape of the ship allows it to float. Imagine a ship that was just a big block of steel, If you put that steel block into water, it would sink because it is denser than water. Ships are built with a hollow shape. The amount of steel is the same, but the hollow shape decreases the boat's density. Water is denser than the hollow boat, so the boat floats. Shaping the block into a hollow form increases the volume occupied by the same mass, which results in a reduced overall density. The ship floats because it is less dense than water.
A pencil floats, a human no float, a feather floats, paper floats, ice floats, keys do not float, rocks do not float, coins do not, flip flops float. Second answer: I think you meant to ask, 'What floats and then some time later starts to sink. If that is what you meant, the answer is: There are absorbent substances which float when dry, then after absorbing water while they are floating, they increase in density and then sink.
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
It floats, but after a while silk will sink.
The water extracted by the wood log while floating is of equal weight of the wood or more. For this reason, the log of wood floats while a steel needle sinks.

Density of a steel ball is greater than the den. Of h2o - it sinks similarly den. Of a toy ship is less than the den. Of h2o - it floats

because it has insulation in itsunny day 45
because inside the boat has air. think when u blow up a ballon it floats same with a boat the out side of the boat is metal
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
because wood floats and too much rubber will make the darn'ed boat sink
Floats
