How did hydrogen bonds sink the titanic?

Hydrogen bonds did not directly cause the sinking of the Titanic. The sinking was primarily due to the collision with an iceberg that caused extensive damage to the ship's hull. Factors like design flaws, high speed, and limited lifeboats also contributed to the disaster. Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between hydrogen atoms and other electronegative atoms, commonly found in molecules like water, but they were not a direct cause of the Titanic sinking.


How does forcing air into the ballast tanks cause the ship to rise?

Action and reaction , the ship is lighter from the discharged ballast- so it will float upwards with buoyancy. One assumes you are talking about submarines. Some surface ships have trim tanks to compensate for cargo compartments not being balanced- etc. but this is not a submergence device.


What happens when a ship sinks and how do rescue operations typically unfold?

When a ship sinks, it can lead to loss of life, damage to the environment, and economic impact. Rescue operations typically involve search and rescue teams using boats, helicopters, and other resources to locate and save survivors. They may also work to contain any pollution or environmental damage caused by the sinking. Coordination between various agencies and organizations is crucial in ensuring an effective and timely response to a sinking ship.


What can you learn from disasters?

We can learn from disaster in different ways. I think we can learn how to prevent the disasters from coming again or how to prepare if the disaster is coming.We can prevent the disaster from happening again. For example, the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg. It doesn't have enough lifeboats for everyone, so many lives are lost. We can prevent this by having more than enough lifeboats for onboard passengers and building a smaller ship that have better control.If the same kind of disaster has come, you already have an experience of how to prepare for the disaster. For example, we know what to prepare if there is a hurricane. We can know when to evacuate from our experiences. We can pile sand bags at the door to prevent water from flowing inside our homes.So, I think we can learn from disasters. We can try to prevent them next time and save many more lives.


Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?

Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.
