What else can I help you with?
Would a large metal ship float in the same volume of fresh water?
Metal ships are built to float.
Can you make metal float?
You can't make a bar of metal float on water, but boats with metal hulls float. Also, metal bars and other metal objects float on mercury.
How ship float on water?
Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.
How does a ship made of metal float?
"average density" You must combine the weight of the metal hull with that of the air contained within it.
Can metal ships float?
It depends. A steel ship will float just fine, so will an iron one(i.e. Old Ironsides). It all depends on the size, weight, and buoyancy of the ship.
Explain why a ship that is mostly made of metal float on the water?
It displaces water and is filled with air.
Why can metal ships float?
Metal ships float because they are designed to displace a volume of water greater than their own weight. This displacement creates an upward force known as buoyancy, which keeps the ship afloat. Additionally, the metal used in ship construction is carefully chosen and shaped to provide the necessary strength and buoyancy.
Can 10 people make a real pirates ship?
if you know how to ship make a metal boat then you will know how to make a wooden pirate ship.
Why is ship floating on the water but it is made of metal?
Because the volume of water it displaces weighs more than the ship. Archimedes principle says that the upwards force on the ship is equal to the weight (mass) of fluid displaced - so the ship floats
Why does pressure and weight matter in how things float?
They do not. A metal ball bearing with a weight of less than 1 Newton will sink in water but a ship weighing several thousand Newtons can float.
How do you make metal float but not on water?
I can make a iron nail float. Simply melt some lead and the iron will float on top of the lead. Your question seems to be with regard to how do Boats float and the answer is Bouyancy. The Boat displaces a volume of water and if the weight of the displaced water is less than the weight of the boat, the boat will float.
Why a needle does not float whereas a heavy ship floats?
Needles don't float because metal is very dense and contains no air. A boat is either made of porous wood which is lighter than water, or metal with air reserves to keep it afloat.
