Why does a container ship that is fully loaded float?
A fully loaded container ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the ship is supported by the water it displaces, according to Archimedes' principle. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the ship will float.
What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water. This is because the buoyant force acting on the block is greater than its weight, causing it to rise to the surface and float.
What allows big containers to float in water?
Big containers float in water because their density is less than the density of water. The buoyant force pushing up on the container is greater than the weight of the container pushing down, so it floats. This is based on Archimedes' principle.
If you dropped a cork in a container of water would it sink or float how do you know?
A cork would float in water because it is less dense than water. This means that the cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float on the surface of the water.
How much weight will a 7 inch x 7 inch x 6 foot canister float?
(127.6 pounds minus the weight of the container) in water.Different weights in other fluids.
Can we use float cullet in container glass?
Cullets doesn't float on water.
How deep will a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds sink?
A object weighing 10 pounds with a volume of 1 cubic foot will sink until 0.16 of its volume is under water, and the remaining 0.84 of its volume is above the surface. At that point, the weight of the displaced water is (0.16 cubic foot) x (62.5 pounds/cubic foot) = 10 pounds, and the object will float at that depth, and sink no further.
Do milk containers float?
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
Do turnips float?
No. Potatoes don't float because of there weight, and that there is not enough volume spread out over the surface of the water. If your potato is flat... that is a different story.
Would the same object as above sink or float in a container of fresh water with a density of 1.0 gmL?
The object would float in fresh water since its density is lower than that of water (1.0 g/mL). The object displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which is less than the weight of water it displaces, causing it to float.
Why doesn't a vacuum filled container float in air?
no
What is a good a object that will float holding marbles?
A good object that will float is a plastic container. It worked for me. Yes a plastic container will work well it worked in my science class.
