Why will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
Why does a ship made of steel float when steel is dense enough to sink in water?
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
What would happen if a steel ship were not hollow?
If a steel ship were not hollow, it would be much heavier and have a higher overall density. This would make it more difficult for the ship to float and it would likely sink. Hollow spaces in a ship contribute to buoyancy and help the vessel stay afloat by displacing water equal to its weight.
Why ship did not sink in the sea?
Because of buoyancy. Even though the steel of the ship weighs a lot more then water, the ship also has a lot of air in it (the ship is not a solid chuck of steel), the lightness of the air off sets the heaviness of the steel to allow it to float.
Why do ships made of steel float instead of of sinking since steel is dencer than water?
I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.
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 a ship made of iron and steel do not sink in sea but the same amount in the form of sheet would sink?
The ship is designed to be buoyant in the water. Buoyancy works when the water displaced by the object becomes equal to the force it is putting on the water
What is the term that means to sink a ship?
To purposely sink a ship is to 'scuttle' the ship.
Why does a solid piece of clay sink while clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
Why do steel nails sink?
they are steel, steel sinks
