because the water carries the ship along with its current
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
If casually fallen intoi the water it is 'Flotsam'. If it is purposely thrown into the water from a ship then it ia 'Jetsam'.
True
The buoyant force on a ship (or any object in a liquid) is equal to the weight of the water the displaces. If this force is greater than the weight of the ship, it will stay afloat.
The "AVERAGE" Density of the entire floating object must be LESS than the density of the Fluid. The Average Density includes hollow spaces, etc. That is why a ship made of STEEL can float in water. It has a lot of EMPTY (air filled) space contained in its interior. Therefore, when the Steel Hull is immersed in the water it "DISPLACES" more water weight than the entire ship itself weighs.
Engine. Oars. Sails. Towrope
theyre floating in the water. waves of energy vibrate the particles of water as they travel, which causes items floating to move
water
Their shape helps them to keep it floating by being full of air and their shape is mostly for speed and being able to move.

The weight of water displaced by the floating ship is less than the weight of the ship. So it floats. Thanks to Archimedes!

Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.

ship float in the sea because water has less density than any substance ship has much weight and thatswhy it sinks
True
O2 is lighter than H20. Same reasons that air bubbles go up in water.
