The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.
Bouyancy is what makes a boat float
Boats float because the mass of the water they displace is greater than the mass of the boat. This difference in density creates bouyancy.
A special type of wood called driftwood and the paint
The force that is at work is gravity. If you are thinking of bouyancy, it is not a force.
you could tell them that the air in the boat makes it "fly" on the water.
Yes, if it makes the water denser, the boat will float easier. For example, it is easier to float in salty water.
This all depends on what type boat your are talking about. There are two factors that cause a boat to float shallow: the beam width and how light it is. The wider the beam the more efficient it is on spreading out the weight of the boat which makes it float shallower. With a 96in. on a 20ft. boat you should be able to float shallower than a foot probably around 7in, depending on how much gas is in the boat.
The force that enables a boat to float is called buoyancy. This force arises from the displacement of water when the boat is placed in it, according to Archimedes' principle. The weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the boat creates an upward buoyant force that counteracts the weight of the boat, allowing it to float. As long as the buoyant force is equal to or greater than the weight of the boat, it will remain afloat.
Yes the boat will float on liquid soap
because the boat is made out of stuff that can float
The term for the depth of the water needed to float a boat clear of the bottom is called "draft." It refers to the distance between the waterline and the deepest part of the boat below the water's surface.
wow that's sad a boat that can float is any tye of boat that doesnt have a hole in it
