Why does a car sink in the ocean?

Updated: 7/25/2025

A car sinks in the ocean primarily due to its weight and density being greater than that of water. When a car is submerged, it displaces water, but the buoyant force acting on it is not enough to counteract its weight, leading it to sink. Additionally, if water enters the car, it increases the overall weight and reduces buoyancy further, hastening the sinking process.
