Metal is denser than the water thats why it sinks, but boats are designed to be floated in water dosent matter its iron or wooden boat. Its because of a certain law called Archimedes' principle. It states that "the liquid displaced by the object is equals to the weight of that object". The overall density of the boat is less than water.
What else can I help you with?
Do an apple float or sink?
An apple will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an apple is higher than water, so it will displace water equal to its weight, causing it to sink.
Why do coins sink?
Coins sink because they lack the buoyancy to float. Their density is higher than that of the water and their shape does not allow them to displace enough water to be buoyant before sinking.
Why does an apple without skin sink in a bowl of water?
It has more dense that water. when you take off the skin your loosing every thing that is keeping the apple up. so when the apple all the water in the apple are being weighed down,
Why do ships float while coins sink?
Ships float because they displace enough water to create an upward force called buoyancy that is greater than their weight. Coins sink because they are denser than water and therefore displace less water than their own weight.
Does an apple float or sink in water?
Apples flkoat in watter that is why you can "bob" for apples.

Does an apple sink?
No, an apple does not sink. It floats, and that is why the game bobbing for apples can be played.
Why coin sinks in the water?
Becuase the coin is heavier then what the water can hold
Why do ships float while coins sink?
Ships float because they displace enough water to create an upward force called buoyancy that is greater than their weight. Coins sink because they are denser than water and therefore displace less water than their own weight.

Can you put apple juice down the sink?
yes but it leaves your sink smelling of urine after 3 days and if the apple juice is left in the pipe the apple juice goes moldy and starts to rot and you will have to replace all the sink unit so you can pour apple juice down the sink but it has these conciques but it is not advised to put apple juice down the sink. by gorge xxx
Why would a tomato sink and an apple float in water?
Tomatoes have a higher density than water, so they sink. Apples have a lower density due to air pockets within their structure, allowing them to float.
Would a coin float or sink?
A coin typically sinks in water because it is more dense than water. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, while most common coins have a higher density, causing them to sink.
Why an apple can float on water?
Apples float because the apple is less dense than water. Objects more dense than water sink because even when fully underwater they don't displace enough water to equal their weight.
Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of Styrofoam of a similar size and shape floats?
Coins are denser than water. Styrofoam is less dense than water.
