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.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the iron nail sinks in water but katori floats in water?
The iron nail sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. The katori floats because its shape and material make it less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to generate a buoyant force greater than its weight.
Why does an aluminum cube sink but a sheet of aluminum float?
Have you heard of Archimedes. Well he stated that the weight of water displaced by an object is equal to the weight of the object. From here we conclude that object being more denser than water sinks those being less dense than water floats. An Aluminum cube has a much higher density than that of water and the sheet is less dense than water. Thus the former floats while the latter sinks. Now you also might have noticed that an iron nail sinks while an iron ship floats. I hope now you can answer this question!!
Why coins sink in the water but not an apple?
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.
A cork piece floats on water but an iron nail sinks give reason?
The cork piece floats because it is less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to support its weight. The iron nail sinks because it is denser than water and does not displace enough water to counteract its weight, causing it to sink.
Will things that are less dense sink?
Less dense. a simple example will explain why; imagine a boat , it's howl is a metal frame about one inch thick with metal , and the deck. between the top deck and the bottom bowl are huge spacer's with air. this is less dense and the boat floats. Now imagine the howl filled with just metal to the deck, a solid object, more dense. What happens?..Boat sinks.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Why does an iron nail sinks while an iron boat floats?
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 :)
What would a compound sentence be using the word sink in?
Wood floats on water, but iron sinks into it.
What happens to iron and sulphur when you add water?
The iron and sulphur split because the iron sinks and the sulphur floats so you can separate the mixture
Why does the iron nail sinks in water but katori floats in water?
The iron nail sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. The katori floats because its shape and material make it less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to generate a buoyant force greater than its weight.
Why should float on water while it is made up of iron sinks in water?
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.
Why does an aluminum cube sink but a sheet of aluminum float?

Is an objects density determines whether it floats or sinks in water?
yes it does. try to sink a cork. it doesn't sink but on the other hand a iron nail does.the higher the mass the more the density and so the object sinks.
What floats and sinks in water?
Objects that are less dense than water will float, while objects that are denser than water will sink. For example, wood, plastic, and cork typically float in water, while metals like lead and iron sink. The shape and size of an object can also affect whether it floats or sinks.
Can you use the word out of wood in a sentence?
Would you chop this wood for me? is an example
Does water have greater density than oil?
Yes, water has a greater density than oil. Water is more dense because its molecules are closer together, while oil molecules are spread further apart. This is why water sinks in oil rather than mixing together.
Why iron bob floats in mercury?
the iron bob floats in Mercury because it density is less than mercurys density
