Because a hovercraft rides on a cushion of air, there is less contact between a hovercraft and water, so there's less friction to slow it down as compared to a regular watercraft.

Are submarines faster submerged?

Modern submarines are designed to go much faster submerged. This design also limits their surface speed capability. WW1 and WW2 submarines were not considered true submersibles by today's standards. They were essentially surface vessels that had the capability of limited submerged operations. As such, their design and propulsion made them faster on the surface and much slower underwater. Modern submarines are true submersibles in that their only limitation is that of their crews.

How come heavier things go faster than lighter things?

In most cases, heavier things do not necessarily go faster than lighter things. The speed at which an object moves is typically determined by factors such as the force applied to it, the surface it is moving on, and air resistance. In some cases, heavier objects may have more momentum and be more difficult to stop once in motion, which can give the impression that they are moving faster.
