Do plastic boats sink or float?
All plastic items float on water, so therefore a plastic boat floats on water.
Can a boat made up box and plastic foat on water?
yes
If a boat got a hole and you covered it with plastic would your boat still sink and if yes why?
yes. if there was still a gap for water to get in.. if you had fully covered the hole with no gaps. then it would stop the water coming in..... pail out what water there was in the boat. and it should not sink....
How do you put a pontoon boat in the water?
To put a pontoon boat in the water, follow these steps: Ensure the boat is properly secured to the trailer. Back the trailer into the water until the boat floats off. Disconnect the boat from the trailer and secure it to a dock or mooring. Remove the trailer from the water.

Why do boats sink when they have a hole?
The water from around the boat enters through a hole. If the material of the boat is heavier than water, or the materials inside the boat make it heavier than water (on the average) then replacing the air in the boat with water will remove its buoyancy and it may sink.The air that is in the boat is lighter than the water that takes its place, which makes the boat ride lower until it sinks. The water comes into the boat because water is more dense than air and will displace it. It can be said that water seeks its own level - the water inside the boat will rise to the same level as the water outside of the boat.

How can a lock be used to move a boat from lower water level to higher water level?
First, the boat comes in to the first chamber. Water is released into the first chamber through the locks, causing the boat to rise up on the increasing water level. Once the water in both chambers is equal, the locks are opened. The boat sails through the locks and out of the second chamber. Finally, the locks are closed again, and the back gate of the first chamber is opened. Water levels are now back as they started, and the locks are ready to transport another boat.
What is an object that floats in water?
An example of an object that floats in water is a boat made of materials that are less dense than water, such as wood or plastic. This allows the boat to displace enough water to create an upward force (buoyancy) greater than its weight, causing it to float.
Does buoyancy change when a person gets into the boat?
The boat will ride higher in the water until a person enters it. The boat sinks into the water "displacing" more water. It was Archimedes who first realised that a thing "immersed" in water will float if it can displace a greater weight of water than the weight of the thing. Otherwise it sinks. Even when a thing has sunk it has still displaced an amount of water equal to its volume, and the thing loses the same amount of weight as the water which it has displaced. I have seen workmen using this idea when moving large boulders in a river.
Who will hear the sound of an approaching boat first this diver or his friend above the water?
The friend above the water will hear the sound of an approaching boat first because sound travels faster through water than through air.
