It is the shape of the battleship, it is a wedge that displaces the water and gets an equal forced pushed back on it so it stays afloat
Another reply: The battle ship is NOT denser than water. A piece of metal is denser than water, but the battleship also has spaces with air inside.
What else can I help you with?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
Does promethium sink or float?
Promethium sink in water because is more dense.
Can a wooden dowel float in salt water?
on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.
Icecubes float in water because they are less?
Dense
Why is it easier to float in salty water tahn in flesh water?
It is easier to float in salty water than in fresh water because the higher salt concentration in the water increases its density, making objects more buoyant. This buoyancy helps you float on the surface of the water more effortlessly compared to in less dense fresh water.

Why do apples float and pears sink?
Pears do not float in water because the pear is more dense than the water. The pear has a high water content, therefore making it more dense. For example, apples float because they are less dense than the water.
What determines whether objects float or sink in water?
