The reason a ship floats is because?
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
Why does iron ship floats in water?
Because the weight of the water that they displace is greater than the weight of the ship.
Why a stone sink in water but a ship floats on water surface?
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
How does a ship floats on the water being heavy?
Surface area.
What affects the level a cargo ship floats in water?
The design of the hull will determine what the displacement of water is. Also, the weight of the cargo in/on the ship.
Will a ship ride higher in inland freshwater lake or in the ocean?
Ocean. The ship will ride higher in salt water than fresh in water. There is a load line on the side of ships to tell you how deep you can load the ship. You can load the ship deeper if it is in fresh water because it will come up when it gets to the ocean.
What is more dense than water but floats on water?
a ship

Why does a ship floats on water answer based on archemedis principel?
Weight of ship = weight of (displaced) water.
Why does a ship entering from fresh water to sea water sinks more?
You have it backwards. A ship floats higher in seawater than freshwater. This is because the dissolved salt makes seawater denser. due to the lack of salt content in fresh water. the salinity of ocean water makes it more dense, allowing the boat to sit higher in the water.

Tides.
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.
What affects the level a cargo ship floats in water?
