Why do iron ship flow on water?
because it is designed in such a way for the ship to float on 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 of these objects will most likely float?
Any with a density less than water, or, like a metal ship, an object with a shape which makes its volume greater than the volume of water that it displaces and is sealed so that water will not flow into it.
Why does'nt a ship sink in water?
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
Why is ship floating on the water but it is made of metal?
Because the volume of water it displaces weighs more than the ship. Archimedes principle says that the upwards force on the ship is equal to the weight (mass) of fluid displaced - so the ship floats
Explain why a ship that is mostly made of metal float on the water?
It displaces water and is filled with air.
Would a large metal ship float in the same volume of fresh water?
Metal ships are built to float.
What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.
Why does a ship built from heavy metal float on water while metal actually sink in water?
An object will sink in water if it has a greater density than the water. This refers to the object's TOTAL or AVERAGE density, not necessarily the density of individual parts. Specifically, in the case of a ship, it includes the air that is trapped inside.
How much water can a ship rudder hold?
A ship's rudder is not designed to hold water; instead, it is a critical component for steering the vessel. Its primary purpose is to redirect water flow to create thrust that turns the ship. While water may flow around or over the rudder while the ship is in motion, it does not have a capacity to hold water like a tank or reservoir. The rudder's structure is typically submerged in the water, allowing it to function effectively during navigation.
How ship float on water?
Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.
What happens to the hull of a ship if it is operated for long periods of time in water temperatures that are freezing?
The metal gets cold, the water freezes over, and the ship gets stuck.
