a ship floats on water what is the reason
Answers
Answer:
hey mate here is your answer
Explanation:
because of its body design, which contains a lot of air, it displaces (pushes aside) enoughwater so that the buoyancy force is equal to its gravity force.
That is why a ship floats.
In fact,a ship does not float on the surface of the water; it sits in the water with part of its hull below the surface.
mark me as brainliest ❤️❤️
Answer:
Because of its body design, which contains a lot of air, it displaces (pushes aside) enough water so that the buoyancy force is equal to its gravity force. That is why a ship floats. In fact, a ship does not float on the surface of the water; it sits in the water with part of its hull below the surface.
With no load onboard, the ship sinks into the water by a certain amount. The amount of water it displaces (shaded area) weighs as much as the ship. The weight of the ship pulling down (red arrow) and the upthrust pushing up (blue arrow) are equal and opposite forces, so the ship floats.
