The raft moves primarily due to the propulsion provided by paddles or oars, which are used to push against the water. Additionally, currents and winds can aid in its movement, allowing it to drift or navigate more easily. Proper balance and coordination among passengers also contribute to efficient movement, especially in navigating obstacles.

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.


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.


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 does water move a raft?

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 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.

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.

How do you move the raft to Meadow in The Legend of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon?

i have it on wii so i will telll you how i would do it use cynder of spyro and go in the middle of the raft were the little bars are and press a and b, but it may be 2 different buttons for you but i should come up when you reach the middle of the rarft if you have used cynder for the raft then play spyro and fly in the air which will move the raft, but make sure cynder stays down on the bars. For PS2, use Cynder or Spyro and grab the bars in the middle of the raft with the O button. Then use L2 to switch to the other character and pull the raft upriver using the green magic chain. You must use this technique in a few other parts of the game, too. -Ali Kat 9317 LOOK FOR MORE ANSWERS BY ME IN OTHER SPYRO QUESTIONS POSTED HERE ON WIKIANSWERS!
