There's no reason to say that it always does that. It only does if it has more volume
than the copper block. If the copper block has more volume, then it displaces more
water than the iron block does.
In fact, if you get a styrofoam block that's big enough, that can displace more water
than your iron block OR your copper block. It just has to be big enough.
The aluminum block will experience a greater buoyant force compared to the iron block because aluminum is less dense than iron, making it more buoyant in water. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object, so the lighter aluminum block displaces more water and experiences a stronger upward force.
jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.
Iron ships float in water because of their hollow structure, which displaces enough water to generate a buoyant force greater than the weight of the ship. This buoyant force counteracts the force of gravity pulling the ship down, allowing it to float on the surface of the water.
i believe you mean why does iron sink but the iron boat float. think about a balloon for a moment. if you take an empty balloon you can easily pull it under water, but if you fill the balloon with air and tie it shut, you cannot pull it under water. the same concept applies to the boat. The air inside and around the boat (yes, even if it is completely open with no roof) keeps it afloat
A big ship made of iron can float due to its shape and displacement. When a ship is designed with a hull that displaces enough water, it creates buoyant force greater than its weight, allowing it to float. Additionally, the weight of the iron ship is distributed over a large surface area, decreasing the pressure exerted on the water and helping it to stay afloat.
Iron is denser than copper, so a block of iron will displace more water than a block of copper of the same weight because the iron block takes up less space for the same mass. This means that the iron block will sink deeper into the water, displacing more water.
The aluminum block will experience a greater buoyant force compared to the iron block because aluminum is less dense than iron, making it more buoyant in water. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object, so the lighter aluminum block displaces more water and experiences a stronger upward force.
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
The weight of the iron block will be the same when placed in seawater, but it would experience a buoyant force due to the water displaced by the block. This buoyant force would partially counteract the weight of the block, making it feel lighter in water.
The mass of iron is 598,4 g.
Anything which floats on water can only do so if it displaces, or moves out of the way, its own mass of water. Wood floats because it displaces a small amount of water, a large lump of iron is very heavy so it will keep displacing water until it has displaced its own mass.
A iron boat is not solid iron it has alot of air inside of the hull and that air means it displaces more water without weighing a lot more and Arcimedes said "Any body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal to, but opposite in sense to, the weight of the fluid displaced" and the nail only displaces the amount of water as the amount of iron it uses. Also on a side note a iron boat would rust :)
4 iron blocks in a T shape, with a pumpkin on the top. So: .................¦Pumpkin¦ Iron block¦ Iron block¦ Iron block .................¦Iron block¦
When silver nitrate is combined with iron, a displacement reaction occurs where iron displaces silver from the nitrate compound. This reaction forms iron(II) nitrate and silver metal as products. The iron displaces the silver because it is higher in the reactivity series.
Archimedes discovered that... "An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." The story is that Archimedes discovered displacement when he jumped in a bath and the bath overflowed. He found that the amount of water that overflowed was exactly equal to the volume of his body. It was the original "Eureka!" moment. So... If the volume of a boat displaces more weight of the water it is in than the total weight of the hull then the boat will float. A block of iron won't displace more weight of water than the block weighs, so it will sink.
jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.
When iron(III) reacts with copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where iron displaces copper from copper sulfate. This results in iron(II) sulfate and copper being produced as products. The iron displaces copper because it is higher in the reactivity series.
