Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which principle explains why a ship floats on water?
  • Step 1: Understand that a ship is a large object that is placed in water.
  • Step 2: Know that when the ship is placed in water, it pushes some water out of the way.
  • Step 3: Realize that the water that is pushed out is called 'displaced water.'
  • Step 4: Learn that Archimedes' principle says that the ship will feel an upward force from the water.
  • Step 5: This upward force is equal to the weight of the water that was pushed out.
  • Step 6: If the upward force is greater than or equal to the weight of the ship, the ship will float.
