The air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! ... The closer the total density of the ship is to the density of the same volume of water, the greater the amount of the ship that will be in the water.
Answer:
All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.
1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.
2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).
3. Depends on what scenario your class had.
