because a ship has big volume and a coin has small volume hence the smaller the area the bigger the pressure,the smaller the area the big the volume

What is a ship wreck?
a ship wreck is when a ship sinks and floats to the bottem of the ocean were it is filled with water and creatures of the sea.
When a load of 1x10 to the sixth Newtons is placed on a battleship the ship sinks only 0.025m in the water what is the cross-sectional area of the ship at water level density of sea water is 1.025x103?
If the ship only sinks 2.5 centimeters, then the heigth of the portion underwater would increase by only 2.5 cm, or the portion above would decrease by that ammount.
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 many coins since 1700 have a picture of a ship on the back?
i HAVE A 1700 COIN WITH A SHIP ON BACK
What do you need to use to make a viking long ship that floats?
wood and probably some kind of super glue.
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 does a ship made of steel float while a needle sinks?
A needle is fully metal whereas a ship is hollow so it floats
What is reason that a steel ship floats while a steel needle sinks?
The displaces a sufficient amount of water to keep it afloat
What is a ship wreck?
a ship wreck is when a ship sinks and floats to the bottem of the ocean were it is filled with water and creatures of the sea.
How much weight can water support?
It depends on the density (the mass per unit volume) not just the weight. That is why a one ton anchor sinks while a 100,000 ton ship floats.
Even though a brick weighs less than a metal-hull ship a brick in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?
Density.
Why does a steel ball sink in water but a toy ship made of steel floats?
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
Why does an aluminum cube sink but a sheet of aluminum float?
Have you heard of Archimedes. Well he stated that the weight of water displaced by an object is equal to the weight of the object. From here we conclude that object being more denser than water sinks those being less dense than water floats. An Aluminum cube has a much higher density than that of water and the sheet is less dense than water. Thus the former floats while the latter sinks. Now you also might have noticed that an iron nail sinks while an iron ship floats. I hope now you can answer this question!!
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
Why does a coin sink but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
How come a nail sinks and a metal ship floats?
An object will sink if its density is greater than that of water (or another liquid in which it is placed). If its density is less, it will float. In the case of the ship, the air in the ship helps reduce the total density.
Why does coin sink in water but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
