The BB-62 Battleship, also known as the USS New Jersey, floats due to buoyancy, which is the principle that states that any object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. The battleship is designed to displace a large volume of water, which creates an upward force (buoyant force) that is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing it to float. Additionally, the hull shape and compartmentalization of the battleship help distribute the weight evenly and maintain stability.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
Materials float or sink depending on their density. If an object is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink. The buoyant force acting on the object helps determine whether it will float or sink.
Yes; Vermiculite, Perlite and Leca all float in water, thanks to their porosity.
No, not all geodes float in water. Whether a geode will float or sink in water depends on the type of minerals present inside the geode, as well as its overall density compared to the density of water. Geodes that contain lighter minerals are more likely to float, while those with denser minerals will sink.
Well not all organs can float, but lungs can float on water
All steel.
Modern steel battleships, as people know them today came out in the 1880s. The only true modern steel battleship fleet sea battle took place on 27 May 1905 in the Tsushima Strait. No decisive battleship fleet actions have ever occurred since that naval engagement.

Not at all. A small pebble and a giant boulder both sink, but a small feather and a giant battleship both float.
What matters when you consider the ability of something to float is the mass of water it can displace. This needs to be greater than the mass of the ship. A steel ship is not steel all the way through, a lot of the inside is air, so the effective density is much smaller than if it were all steel.
Like comparing a wooden stage coach drawn by horses to an all steel engine powered automobile (a car). Can you really compare the two? Think about it: An 18th century battleship wasn't even a battleship in today's sense of the word. It was a wooden ship powered by cloth sails; like a wooden stage coach drawn by horses. No comparison.
It depends. A steel ship will float just fine, so will an iron one(i.e. Old Ironsides). It all depends on the size, weight, and buoyancy of the ship.
The USS New Jersey, an Iowa class battleship, is the last warship to have fought as a traditional all gun battleship & the only battleship to have fought in the Vietnam War.
No. All retired.
some float
the one code is jmsdf
Yes it is jmsdf
