Question

If you use some modelling clay to make a large boat shape, it will float. If you roll the same amount of modelling clay into a ball, it will sink. Why is this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is displacement.

Explanation:

When the clay ball is placed in the water, it displaces (or pushes aside) the water. ... If the clay can displace a volume of water that equals (or is greater) than the weight of the clay, then it will be buoyant and float.

Answer 2

Answer:

hlo dear.he key to the answer is density. so when u prepared boat it's density is less than that of water so it float. but when u made ball due to high density it sinks. hope u understand
