Answer
A ship is made of metal which is denser than water but its hull is filled with air with is extremely less dense than water that makes up for the density of the metal and ends up being less than water.
Answer
A ship floats on water because the density of the ship (the comparison of how much matter is in it to how much space the ship takes up) is less than that of water, which is 1.
Answer
the ship has volume so that the mass could speard out and fill the place so it is less dense than the water
No, an object with a larger density than water will sink in water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the liquid they are placed in.
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water. This is because the buoyant force acting on the block is greater than its weight, causing it to rise to the surface and float.
Icebergs float in water because they are less dense than water. Density is mass per unit volume, so if an object's density is lower than the density of the fluid it is in (in this case, water), it will float. Ice has a lower density than water because the molecules in ice are spread out more compared to liquid water, making it less dense and causing it to float.
an egg floats on water because the density of water is lower than the density of the egg.
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
An egg float on salted water because the density of the egg is lower the the density of this water.
Anything that has a density that is lower than water will float. The lower something's density is, the more buoyancy it will have.
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
A solid float on water if the density is lower than the density of water.
The density is lower than the density of water.
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
the density of your body is lower than water....:)
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
Yes. It has a lower density than water.
No, an object with a larger density than water will sink in water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the liquid they are placed in.
