What is heavy water and why did Hitler want some?
Heavy water is water with some gases extracted.if you put it in a barrel and put the barrel in water the barrel would sink.Theonly reason Hitler wanted heavy water was because heavy water is used in atomic bombs.the only place he could get the heavy water was Norway. fortunately the Brit's blew up the only cargo ship carrying the heavy water back to Germany...some heavy water is lost in a lake somewhere in norway...lost in time forever.
What holds a ship in place?
Water has the power to keep things afloat. If this power is greater than the weight of the ship, the ship will float. But if the ship is too heavy or gets full of water, it will sink. To understand how, we must remember the old Archimedes principle that when a body is immersed in water it is held up by a force equal to the weight of the water it displaces. We call this force buoyancy. Even a metal object, if it is shaped like a wash basin, for example, will be buoyant and float. But if it fills up with water, it will quickly sink. Ship bottoms are shaped so that when a ship leans over, it always becomes level again. The docks of ships act like covers to keep water from getting inside and making the ship too heavy. When it has no cargo a ship floats high in the water. Even when it is fully loaded, a ship will not sink. This is because the load line will be above the water.
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh 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
Is a cannon on land called differently than on a ship?
it's the same word on land, over water , maybe in air.
What happens when a ship sails from seawater to fresh water?
When a ship sails from seawater to fresh water, the buoyancy of the ship increases because fresh water is less dense than seawater. This can cause the ship to ride higher in the water. Additionally, there may be a slight increase in the ship's speed due to the lower density of the fresh water offering less resistance to the hull.
Which ship was designed for carring cargo?
Container ship.
What is a heavy piece of metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving?
An anchor is a heavy piece of metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving.
Why can big heavy steel ships float on water?
Big heavy steel ships can float on water because of a principle called buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is greater than the weight of the ship itself, causing it to float. The shape of the ship's hull also plays a role in distributing the weight evenly, allowing it to stay afloat.
How does a ship floats on the water being heavy?
A ship floats on water due to a principle known as buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship, allowing it to stay afloat. Essentially, the buoyant force exerted by the water is greater than the weight of the ship, keeping it on the surface.
Which ship arrives second why is it surprising that it arrives before Othello's?
the ship carring iago, emilia, desdemona and roderigo arrive second. Not sure about why it would be suprising about othllo
A piece of heavy metal for lowering into the water to keep a ship from moving?
it means anchor
What does density of a ship's cargo have to do with the volume of the cargo the ship can carry?
The Cargo must weigh less than the ship, and although heavy, ships are less dense than water.
When did German ship Totila happen?
German ship Totila happened in 1944.
When did German ship Petrella happen?
German ship Petrella happened in 1944.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy
Why does ships float on water?
because the force of the water (thrust) is holding the weight of the ship as the ship weight is evenly balanced so no side of the ship is too heavy when compared to the other side my name is Farahan Ali and Charlee cowee
What are 2 reason a steel ship floats in water?
A steel ship floats in water because of its shape and displacement. The design of the ship creates enough buoyant force to counteract its weight, allowing it to stay afloat. Additionally, the steel hull of the ship displaces enough water to keep it buoyant.
