Warm and tropical waters permit faster micro-organism growth on the hull surface, increasing drag considerably. Think barnacles attaching themselves to the ship !!

Why does a ship sink lower in hot water than in cold?

The ships go lower in hot water because it is less dense than the cold water. The molecules in the cold water are more stationary than in warn water when they are moving faster so it is not as solid.


Will ships float lower or higher in tropical water?

Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.


Is it true that cold water is hot?

No, cold water is not hot. Cold water is at a lower temperature than hot water.


Does hot water have a lower specific heat than cold water?

No


How can hot water flaot on cold water?

hot water has a lower density because since it is hot, all the particles repel from each other. therefore, cold water has a greater density that hot water which results in the floating effect


How much water evaporates from a hot tub?

The amount of water that evaporates from a hot tub varies based on factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and surface area. On average, a hot tub can lose about 1 to 2 inches of water per week due to evaporation. Higher temperatures and lower humidity levels can increase this rate significantly. To minimize evaporation, using a hot tub cover when not in use is recommended.


Was hot air ships successful?

Hot air ships, also known as hot air balloons, were successful in terms of demonstrating manned flight. The first successful hot air balloon flight was achieved by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783. However, hot air balloons are limited in terms of speed, distance, and control compared to other forms of air transportation.


How do the position of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection?

noting it works (in the science meaning; to cause a change) a lot.


How can the movement of molecules help explain why hot water evaporates faster?

If the water is cold, that means that water molecules have small speed, in hot water, molecules have greater speed, thus greater energy, and need less energy than cold water to be kicked out through the surface.


Why does cold water evaporate slower than hot water?

The kinetic energy of water molecules is lower at a low temperature.


What has a higher density cold or hot water?

Cold water has a higher density than hot water. As water cools, its molecules come closer together, increasing its density. Conversely, hot water molecules are more spread out, resulting in lower density.


How can I prevent the risk of scalding when using hot tap water by mixing it with cold water?

To prevent scalding when using hot tap water, always mix it with cold water to lower the temperature. This will help reduce the risk of burns or injuries from the hot water.
