ddart1969 | Why do boats float? |
|
|


Master Maverick
|
Whether or not an object will float does not depend on its weight, but rather its density. If an object is less dense (weighs less, per unit of volume) than the water it is placed on (fresh water has a density of about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Salt water is denser.), it will float. So if, for example, an object were placed on a body of fresh water, and it weighed 10 kilograms, it would float as long as it had a volume of greater than 10,000 cubic centimeters.
This can be applied to air, as well. This is the same reason balloons filled with helium float up into the sky. Because helium is less dense than the surrounding air. |

blah,blah,blah..boyance, area, circumferance...whatever, the bottom line is that air is lighter than water. A boat is sorta like a ballon... it has air in the bottom of the it(from inside of course); which is below the water level, therefore the air wants to be above the water; hence making the boat 'float'. |

it watter it diplacess wieghs more than the boat |
|

Because their weight is less than the weight of the water they dislodge. |

Water is displaced with air,bouyance. |
|

gurliey_gurl2003
|
because of bouyancy, and the way the boats weight is displaced...see its spread out over a certain amount of space...plus of the propellers....its all physics |
|

sabs
 |
because of bouyancy that is water dispalced by thing provides a thrust on it enabling it to float |
|

metalfrommatt13
 |
because of boyancy and displacement.....Boyancy, is the amount area a(n) object covers while floating, and Displacement is the amount of weight distributed throughout the boat. |
|

bubblyandbright
|
By Archimedes Principle, there is an upthrust known as the buoyancy equivalent in weight as the boat. The weight of the boat results in a force downwards, and the upthrust, which is the action-reaction pair with this weight, acts upwards resulting in a certain sort of negation that allows the resultant force to be zero, hence allowing the boat to float. |
