How does an object as large as an aircraft carrier float on water explain in detail about buoyancy?

From Wikipedia: "If the object has exactly the same density as the liquid, then its buoyancy equals its weight. It will tend neither to sink nor float. An object with a higher average density than the fluid has less buoyancy than weight and it will sink. A ship floats because although it is made of steel which is more dense than water, it encloses a volume of air and the resulting shape has an average density less than that of the water."


Can an aircraft carrier go 100 knots?

Definitely not... the maximum practical speed, today, is 32-35 knots.


Aircraft carrier How do they float?

Maybe some, but very few do. Powered (not gliders) airplanes are surprisingly heavy. Furthermore they carry a huge weight in fuel. Many big airplanes takeoff with more weight than they can land with. Even if an airplane has used up its fuel, the weight of engines and fuselage is more than the boyancy of fuel tanks and the pressure hull. Blub glub glub....


How do humans float in the air?

Humans do not naturally float in the air. However, if someone is floating in the air, it may be due to external factors like being lifted by a crane or being inside an aircraft that is in flight.


What weighs 2.5 million tons?

An aircraft carrier typically weighs around 100,000 tons, so 2.5 million tons would be equivalent to about 25 aircraft carriers. This weight is also close to the combined weight of thousands of commercial airplanes or hundreds of thousands of cars.

Is it easy to sink aircraft carriers?

No because aircraft carriers are so huge and it can handle lots of punishments. Aircraft carriers are incredibly strong. If you fire one missile at it, it still could float and move even up to twelve missiles and the aircraft carrier will take damages and still can move. If you fire several missiles or more, the whole aircraft carrier will sink.


What is the maximum size and weight of a aircraft carrier or battleship or any sea vessel can weigh to still be able to float in the ocean?

There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.

Is flight deck an aircraft carrier?

There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.


Why does a marble sink into water but an aircraft carrier which is heavier float?

Because the marble has a lesser density than water. And also because of the marbles shape and size. :)
