Water moves a raft primarily through the principles of buoyancy and displacement. When a raft is placed on water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight, allowing it to float. As water flows around and beneath the raft, it creates pressure differences that push against the bottom and sides, propelling the raft forward. Additionally, currents and waves exert force on the raft, helping to move it along the water's surface.

Why water do not move the raft horizontally?
The water does not move the raft horizontally because the force from the water is exerted in all directions equally due to its fluidity. The raft is only pushed up and down by the water's buoyant force, not horizontally. To move the raft horizontally, an external force like rowing or propulsion is needed.
What is the independed variable when building a raft powered by surface tension?
The independent variable when building a raft powered by surface tension would be the raft design or materials used. By changing these factors, you can observe how they affect the ability of the raft to float and move on the water surface due to surface tension.
How does rafting use science?
Rafting is in essence a good example for the laws of physics. The water moving under and around the raft propel it forward because the water pushing against the raft has more mass then the raft can use to push back against the water. Once moving, it can be difficult to change the direction of the raft, or slow it down, because of inertia. Gravity in itself is the driving force of rafting. water flows downhill because of gravity, so water will push a raft downhill. As such, it takes much greater effort to move upstream then it does to move downstream, and may be impossible to move upstream in some areas (such as white water rafting) due to the extreme amount of pressure pushing the raft downstream.
How do release the automatic liferaft?
the life raft can be relies with the pressure of the water on the HRU, as soon as the ships move down the water pressure will create on it and it will activate the HRU and life raft will be launched.
Why do water waves travelling under a raft do not move the raft horizontally?
The water waves passing under a raft may cause it to bob up and down, but they do not move the raft horizontally because the waves transfer energy vertically rather than horizontally. Additionally, the raft's weight and buoyancy keep it in place despite the wave motion underneath.
Does toothpaste work as a motor for a raft?
yes, it does. it makes the raft move very slowly but it is still a motor
How many pages does A Yellow Raft in Blue Water have?

What are the different ways you can travel on water?
boat, seadoo, raft, canoe, kayak.
How do you survive on a life raft?
If you are on a life raft you need to get to land ASAP. For the time you are on the raft you will have to survive on the supplies you have with you. Don't drink the salt water!!
How does an inflatable raft float?
The surface area of the raft displaces the water forcefully which causes float
How was a river raft formed?
A river raft was formed by the water eroding the river time after time
