The simplest way to put it:
If an object is denser than the liquid it is put in, it sinks. (An iron nail is very much denser than water). If it is less dense than the liquid its put in (a boat has a lot of air in it and is spread across a lot of water, if you calculate its density its less than water. Which is also why dry sponges float because they have a lot of air in them, but if it gets wet enough, it will have a lot of water plus the actual sponge so at least for some sponges it will eventually sink if you keep soaking it with water.)
I think it gets more complex as you do have to factor in gravity and other variables, but this is still true.

Can ship sink or disappear?
Sure ships sink. Titanic for example and hundreds of less famous boats every year. They can also disappear....it is a big ocean out there. Not all ships that go missing are found.
Why do big metal ships float and not sink?
Big metal ships are designed with a specific shape and structure that displaces enough water to generate buoyancy, which allows them to float. The weight of the ship is spread out over a large enough area, preventing it from sinking. The principle of buoyancy, based on Archimedes' principle, explains why objects float or sink in a fluid.
What makes boat a sink?
Different things. For example, the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg. Other ships sink because the weight on it is too heavy. It also depends on how sturdy the ship or boat is. If it is a handmade small boat, jump on it- and it will sink. if it is medium or big, someting like a rock or an iceberg can sink it.
How a particle model helps you explain why its easier yo compress air than a piece of iron?
it shows that there is space between the model and iron is big and it attracts
Can something sink aircraft carriers faster and easier?
Yes. Combat aircrafts with torpedoes, bombs and really powerful missiles can sink aircraft carriers faster because they can do much harder damages and pack a big wholes into bigger ships.

How do you free the goron from the big rock?
You buy the water bombs in Kakariko Village then you go to Zora's Domain and don your iron boots while in the water and sink to the bottom and place a water bomb beside the big rock and it blows up.
What causes orange stains on shower curtain and sink mats?
I have heard that iron in the water can cause this. It can usually be fixed with a home water filter or something. It's no big deal I think. As far as I know, even very small amounts of iron can cause this.
