Why can steel ships float on water although steel is denser than water?
Steel ships float on water because their shape is designed to displace enough water to create a buoyant force that is greater than the weight of the ship. This buoyant force allows the ship to float despite the steel being denser than water.
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 a bolt float?
no because it isn't hollow and denser than water
Steel is denser than water yet steel ships float. explain?
Steel ships float because of the principle of buoyancy. When an object is placed in a fluid, like water, it displaces an amount of fluid equal to its own weight. This upward force, called buoyant force, counteracts the weight of the steel ship and allows it to float. While steel is denser than water, the overall shape and volume of the ship allows it to displace enough water to float.
Does polycarbonate float?
No, polycarbonate does not float on water. It is denser than water and will sink when placed in it.

Why is it easier to swim in salty water than in pure water?
Salt water is denser that fresh water, so a swimmer (and ships) float higher in saltwater.
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.
What will happen to a solid made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
What makes an item to float or sink in water?
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.

Can asphalt float on water?
Asphalt is denser than water and will sink in water rather than float.
Does polycarbonate float?
No, polycarbonate does not float on water. It is denser than water and will sink when placed in it.
Does muscovite float on water?
No, muscovite does not float on water because it is denser than water.
Do candles float in water?
No, candles do not float in water because they are denser than water and will sink.
