The ship will rise upward as the density of the sea water is greater than that of the river water. So the volume of the displaced sea water is less than that of the river water.

Why does ship float on sea?

A ship floats on the sea due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship, allowing it to float. This is because the density of the ship is lower than the density of water.


Which sea would a ship float best in?

A sea comprised of liquid, with the greatest possible density.


When a wave passes a ship at sea how does the wave effect the ship?

the waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them. The ship moves up and down as the wave passes under it. The ship does not travel with the wave!


When a wave passes a ship at sea how would the wave affect the ship?

When a wave passes a ship at sea, it can cause the ship to pitch (up and down) and roll (side to side) as it moves through the wave. The ship may experience increased motion and vibrations, which can impact stability and potentially lead to seasickness among passengers and crew. Ship captains may adjust their course or speed to minimize the effects of the passing wave.


Why it is easier to sail a boat in sea water than river water?

Sea water contains many dissolved minerals and ions that cause it to be more dense than fresh water. Because of this, objects sea water exhibit greater buoyancy in sea water than fresh water (Objects displace an amount of water based on their volume but the buoyancy is determined by the weight of the water displaced). As a result, a ship will float higher in sea water, reducing the drag of the ship against the water while sailing. This effect of heightened buoyancy is also the reason people float so easily in high-salt lakes such as those in Utah and the Dead Sea.
