Why does a steel ship not sink in water?
There is air inside the ship's hull below the waterline. This means that the average density (the ship, its cargo, the air in the hull) is less than that of the water being displaced by the hull. If you filled the ship with something heavier (coal, lead pellets), it would reach a point where the average density was greater than the water displaced, and the ship would sink. If a ship gets a hole in its hull, water replaces the air inside and the ship goes down.
How many joules does it take to warm steel by 1 degree?
That depends on whether you are talking about 1 °C or 1 °F. It also depends somewhat on the type of steel. Warming carbon steel by 1 °C requires about 0.49 J/kg of steel. Warming 316 stainless steel 1 °C requires about 0.45 J/kg of steel. To find the answer for 1 °F, multiply the values by 5/9.
How do you know if your 1944 penny is steel?
The vast, vast, vast, majority of 1944 pennies are copper. If it sticks to a magnet it /might/ be steel, though you'd have to take it to an expert to make sure it wasn't altered from a steel 1943 penny.
How much does a sink take of water for washing hands?
A sink typically uses about 1 to 2 gallons of water to wash hands, depending on the flow rate of the faucet and the duration of the handwashing. It is recommended to turn off the faucet while lathering and scrubbing to conserve water.
Why does an iron ship sink but a lump of iron float?
i believe you mean why does iron sink but the iron boat float. think about a balloon for a moment. if you take an empty balloon you can easily pull it under water, but if you fill the balloon with air and tie it shut, you cannot pull it under water. the same concept applies to the boat. The air inside and around the boat (yes, even if it is completely open with no roof) keeps it afloat
Will steel wool corrode in water?
The simply answer is yes. Steel wool does not have a coating that will protect it from rusting in water. But rusting will take some time.
Why does steel wool corrode from water?
Steel wool corrodes from water because the water has oxygen. If the steel wool is in contact with both the water and oxygen it will begin to rust rapidly. The rusting will take a while. It will take between 5-7 days.
How much Microsoft points does it take to buy real steel?
240-320 not much
What happens when you put steel wool in water?
Steel wool will quickly start to rust when placed in water due to its iron content. The water exposes the iron to oxygen in the air, leading to oxidation which causes the steel wool to rust and eventually deteriorate.
What will Pepsi do to steel wool?
Depends on whether you leave the steel wool in the Pepsi. If you take it out, the water in the Pepsi will cause the steel wool to rust away. If you leave it in, the phosphoric acid will slowly dissolve the steel wool.
How much weight does it take to crush a steel toe boot?
2,500 pounds of pressure
How much does water take up of your weight?
It really depends how much water you drink.
What is heavier a steel tank or aluminum tank?
steel because of the sheer amount of mass in the steel it is an obvious winImproved AnswerIt depends on the tank size, but in general steel is lighter out of the water. This is because steel is stronger than aluminum and you don't need as much metal to hold the pressure. If you put a steel tank next to an aluminum you will notice the steel is a smaller size for size even though it holds the same amount of gas. The aluminum tank is larger since it needs more metal to hold the pressure and thus is heavier. But steel is also more negative in the water so you can take some weight off your weight belt too.
How much water should you take in a day?
it is reccomended you take in 2 liters of water a day
Why did the Egyptian boats not drown when they had rocks for the pyramids?
The water displaced created a force of buoyancy sufficient to keep the boat from sinking. This is the same idea with steel ships. If you take a ball of steel and put it in the water, the steel sinks, but large battleships made entirely of steel float. Why? When as ship presses into the water, it pushes against the water on all points under the water's surface. The water pushes back, more weakly than the boat (otherwise the boat would sit on the water the way a car "sits" on land), but enough to keep the boat from completely sinking.
How does a steel ship float when steel marble sinks?
A steel marble will sink because it's solid steel and heavier than water all the way through. A steel ship is hollow and the inside is full of air. Just the shell is heavier than water but, on the whole with the air inside, the ship is lighter than the water so it floats. Experiment: Take an old, empty can (with no lid on it) from the kitchen and submerge it water. It will stay submerged. The can itself is heavier than water. Now fish the can out and empty the water out of it, and put a small weight (maybe a small piece of stone or something) to hold the can upright in the water. The can will now float!
What would a substance denser that water do in water?
It depends on how the substance is shaped. Take 40,000 tons of steel. If you shape it into an ingot, it will sink. Shape it into a ship and it will float.
