What is something that floats in water?

A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.


Can you explain why a steel boat floats on water, but a steel block does not?

A steel boat floats on water because of its shape and displacement of water, which creates buoyancy. The boat's hollow structure allows it to displace enough water to counteract its weight, making it float. In contrast, a solid steel block is too dense and heavy to displace enough water to float.


Why will a heavy lump of plasticine float when its in th shape of a boat?

A heavy lump of plasticine floats when in the shape of a boat because the boat shape displaces a greater volume of water than the lump alone. This creates a buoyant force that is sufficient to counteract the weight of the plasticine, allowing it to float.


How a boat made of steel float?

A boat made of steel floats because of the principle of buoyancy. When the boat displaces water that has a weight equal to or greater than the weight of the boat, it floats. The steel hull is designed to displace enough water to generate an upward force greater than the weight of the boat, keeping it afloat.


What makes a bost float?

I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.

How does a boat sink?

This actually happened with Titanic. The only way the boat can sink is if the boat has a giant hole in it. A boat floats on water, but what happens is the water from the ocean or lake or whatever goes into the boat. As the water fills up the boat, the boat justs get very heavy. and it goes down deep in the water.Example: The titanic hit an iceberg and it made huge holes on the side of the boat. So water went in the basement and It the water went up to every floor and boat got so heavy. And when the boat was rising up it go SO heavy that it snapped in halfexample: Also a rock can sink. when you throw a rock in the water it sinks because the rock is soooo heavy


Why the boat is able to float?

Why does water density affect boats floating?

The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
