A big iceberg sank the Titanic, a very big ship for it's time.
A big iceberg sank the Titanic, a very big ship for it's time.
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
The iceburg made a hole in the sip and water started to leek in the ship then it got filled with water and it split in 2
The ship is designed to be buoyant in the water. Buoyancy works when the water displaced by the object becomes equal to the force it is putting on the water
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
A ship's draft, or how deep it sits in the water, is determined by factors like the ship's weight, buoyancy, and the density of the water. The deeper the draft, the lower the ship sits in the water. The ship will sink until it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which is known as the principle of buoyancy.
a hole.
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.
