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.
Why do big metal ships float and not sink?
Big metal ships are designed with a specific shape and structure that displaces enough water to generate buoyancy, which allows them to float. The weight of the ship is spread out over a large enough area, preventing it from sinking. The principle of buoyancy, based on Archimedes' principle, explains why objects float or sink in a fluid.
Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink Explain?
No. The relationship between mass and displacement does. Think about ships and boats. If had a big block of steel with the same mass a cargo ship and put it in the water, then it would sink. The ship is shaped so that it displaces enough water to keep itself afloat. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, and then weld that material the side of it, then you haven't changed the mass of it, but it will sink.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships will float in fresh water as long as their density is lower than that of the water they displace. This is due to Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
What things float then sink?
Boats that get holes in them.
Why don't shiops sink?
Ships don't sink because they are more boant then the water they float on. Ships don't sink because they are more boant then the water they float on.

Do German U boats sink ships for nothing?

Do boats sink?
Boats can sink. They are usually made of materials that allow them to displace water, and permit them to float. From time to time, that material will break down, and the boat will sink.
