Yes, that's possible

Bullets don't work well under water. They tend to slow down and break apart very quickly. A harpoon will travel better the first couple of feet, but the flotation will slow it down quickly as well.

Is water faster than a bullet?

No, a bullet travels faster than water. The speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type and caliber, but it is generally much faster than the speed of sound in air (about 343 meters per second or 1,235 kilometers per hour), while water only flows at a few meters per second.


What portion of an iceberg melts faster the part above the water or the part that is submerged?

The portion of an iceberg that is submerged generally melts more slowly than the part above water. This is because the submerged section is insulated by the surrounding water, which remains relatively cold, while the exposed portion is directly exposed to warmer air temperatures. Additionally, the melting process is influenced by factors like air temperature, wind, and sunlight, which primarily affect the visible part of the iceberg. Thus, the above-water portion tends to melt faster than the submerged part.


Why does a submarine travel faster submerged than on the surface?

A submarine travels faster submerged than on the surface primarily due to reduced drag. When submerged, the submarine displaces water instead of having to contend with the surface tension and turbulence of waves, which can slow it down. Additionally, operating underwater allows for a streamlined hull design that minimizes resistance. This combination enables submarines to achieve higher speeds when submerged.


What would happen to the volume of a balloon if it were submerged in hot water?

The volume of the balloon would increase when submerged in hot water because the heat causes the air particles inside the balloon to move faster and spread out, increasing the overall volume of the balloon.


When water is heated why would a submerged object rise faster?

Since you asked, I don't think it would.I think a submerged object would rise slower in hot water than in cold. The densityof the hot water is less than the density of cold water. So whatever volume of fluidthe submerged object displaces has less weight, and the buoyant force on thesubmerged object is less than it would be in cold water.That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.Another answer:I agree. What makes you think an object will rise faster?


How much faster is a divers body heat lost through conduction in water than in air?

A diver's body heat is lost around 25 times faster in water compared to air due to the higher thermal conductivity of water. Water conducts heat more efficiently than air, leading to faster heat loss when submerged in water.


Can bamboo be fully submerged in water?

Yes, bamboo can be fully submerged in water as it is a water-resistant plant material.


What is wrong with the sentence The submarine was submerged above the water?

The word submerged means it was under water instead of above the water.


Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?

It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."


Is the water lily half-submerged?

A water lily is fully submerged an sends its leaves and flowers up to the surface.


Can bamboo grow submerged in water?

Yes, bamboo can grow submerged in water, as long as the water is not too deep and the plant has access to oxygen.
