What else can I help you with?
Did the titanic boiler explode?
no. the iceberg created a gash in the side of the boat letting water get inside, causing the boat to sink.
Why if a boat has a hole it will slowly sink?
Because of the water having to fill the boat up to sink it
What does it mean when a boat swamps?
= '''to sink or fill (a boat) with water''' =
What material could sink a boat?
Water
How does the shape of the boat effect it to sink or float?
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.
How does a boat not sink?
the boat has equal or less density than the water. :P
Will a heavier boat sink more into the water or less?
A heavier boat will sink more into the water because the weight of the boat causes it to displace more water, resulting in a lower buoyancy force. This increases how deep the boat sits in the water compared to a lighter boat of the same size and shape.
When first put in water a plastic toy boat will sink until?
You fill the bottom of the boat with water
What do you do if you dropped your boat motor in the water?
It would sink.
Will a boat sink more in fresh water or salt water?
The boat will sink lower in fresh water. Try floating in the ocean versus your pool. You will see it is easier to stay afloat in salt water.
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....
Why do boat sink deeper in salt water than fresh water?
Boats sink deeper in salt water than in fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. This greater density exerts more buoyant force on the boat, causing it to sink deeper. Additionally, the salt in the water can also affect the buoyancy of certain materials used in the boat.
