In general, an object will float if its density is less than the liquid (or gas) in which it is placed. In the case of a ship, everything inside the ship - including the air trapped inside - affects the total mass, but especially the total volume.

Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?
A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
What makes ship not to sink in water?
It's the way how the ship is built. The ship in the water is able to fully displace water equal to it own weight, so that the water exerts a greater upthrust on the ship, than the ship is able to exert on the water with its weight. The net upthrust results in the ship staying afloat. If at any point the ship is not able to displace an amount of water equal to its weight, it will keep sinking until EITHER the ship finally displaces the right amount of water and begins to float OR the ship cannot displace enough water and becomes completely submerged, and sinks to the bottom of the body of water.
Why does a ship floating on water move?
because the water carries the ship along with its current
Why does your cold water have water flow but hot water has no flow?
It is a matter of density cold water is denser(compact) that hot water. thus cold water will flow faster than less dense(loose)hot water.
Why a stone sink in water but a ship floats on water surface?
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
Why do iron ship flow on water?
because it is designed in such a way for the ship to float on water
Why does a metal ship flow on water?
Because in the ship has more air than the water.Therefore water has more density than the metal ship which contains more air.
How ship flow on the sea?
because it has a vacume
Why is a steel ship magnetised as it is constructed?
because, when a steel ship is constructing then there must be a current flow to construct it.as there is a current flow then the steel ship turned into a magnet.because steel is magnetic element.
Where is it possible to learn how to scuttle?
Research has shown that to scuttle is to sink a ship or boat. In order for one to do so it is necessary to allow water to flow into the hull of the ship or boat. Information on how to accomplish this can be found on Wikipedia.
Can water flow?
water cannot flow uphill
What makes ship in the ship in the sea move?
water
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.
How does water alway flow?
the water aways flow because it does
What is a natural flow of water from underground?

What does a ship's boiler do?
It boils water on a ship.
