Why do you sink in the water but ships do not?

Because normally when ships sail they start in a harbour near the sea. The sea is filled with salt witch allows it to float much easier when people swim the swim in a pool or river with no salt in it. I think.


Name three things that sink and why they sink?

Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.


Why can a ship not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine?

The heat engine can convert internal energy of sea water if there is a sink at temperature lower than temperature of sea water. Since there is no such sink and hence a ship can not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine.


Does a coin sink faster in pure water than it does in sea water?

Yes, a coin does sink slightly faster in pure water than it does in sea water. The dissolved salts in sea water make the water denser, and as a result, objects immersed in sea water will experience greater buoyancy than they do in fresh water.


Why do boats float and ships sink?

Provided the boats and the ships displace their weight in water without the water coming inboard, they will float and not sink. A boat made of wood is likely to float even when full of water because wood tends to float. It is all to do with displacement and freeboard.
