Most submarines now have a single nuclear reactor. Some smaller, coastal submarines have a single diesel.
The first two navy submarines equipped with diesel engines were the German U-Boat U-1, commissioned in 1906, and the British submarine HMS A1, launched in 1902. These submarines marked a significant advancement in naval technology, transitioning from earlier steam-powered designs to more efficient diesel engines, which allowed for greater range and operational capabilities. The use of diesel engines became a standard in submarine design for many years thereafter.
Depends on the type of submarine...

A submarine rotates its turbines in the opposite direction of normal rotation to cause water to be drawn towards the submarine. The force causing the mass to be moved toward the bow of the submarine is counteracted by the force drawing the submarine backwards.

A nuclear-powered submarine is different from a conventional submarine because it is powered by a nuclear reactor instead of diesel engines or batteries. This allows it to stay submerged for longer periods of time and travel at faster speeds. Additionally, nuclear-powered submarines do not need to surface as frequently for refueling, giving them greater endurance and operational range.
Yes, nuclear submarines generate nuclear power. There is a nuclear reactor on board (hence the tern nuclear submarine) which creates steam to drive the main engines to turn the screw(s).
Yes, by using their engines to neutralize their motion horizontally, and their ballast tanks to neutralize vertical motion, a submarine is quite capable of achieving a static position (not moving).
There are four engines.
When a submarine is traveling at a constant depth, the primary forces acting on it are buoyancy, gravity, drag (or hydrodynamic resistance), and thrust. The buoyant force, which acts upward, is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the submarine, while gravity pulls the submarine downward. For the submarine to maintain a constant depth, these forces must be balanced, meaning the buoyant force equals the gravitational force. Additionally, the thrust generated by the submarine's engines must counteract the drag force to maintain a steady speed.
