An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a coin sink but a cruise ship floats?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
What describes why a cruise ship floats?
It displaces an equal or greater amount of water than its own weight.
What best describes why a cruise ship floats?
It displaces an equal or greater amount of water than its own weight.
Why a coin sinks while a ship floats?
Ultraoversimplifying it, the coin is solid metal all the way through and weighs more than its volume of water, the ship has a large space filled with air inside it resulting in the weight of the ship and cargo being less than the weight of the volume of water it occupies.This is called buoyancy: the coin has negative buoyancy and sinks, the ship has positive buoyancy and floats.
What is more dense than water but floats on water?
a ship
Why does a ship floats on water answer based on archemedis principel?
Weight of ship = weight of (displaced) water.
Can you take bottle water with us when you get off the cruise ship in ports?
can you take abottle of water with you when you get off the cruise ship at the bahamas
Differences between a ship and a submarine?
a ship floats on the water and a submarine can go underwater and on top of the water
Why does the ship floats while a coin sinks?
because a ship has big volume and a coin has small volume hence the smaller the area the bigger the pressure,the smaller the area the big the volume
How does a ship floats on the water being heavy?
A ship floats on water due to a principle known as buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship, allowing it to stay afloat. Essentially, the buoyant force exerted by the water is greater than the weight of the ship, keeping it on the surface.
What does not affect the level a cargo ship floats in water?
Tides.
Why does the depth of water not affect the level at which a ships floats?
A ship floats due to buoyancy, which is determined by the weight of the water displaced by the ship, not by the depth of the water. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, it will float at the same level regardless of the depth of the water.
