Chapter 2 Warship construction

What happens to a balloon filled with air when placed on water?

• It fills with water.

• It bursts.

• It floats after displacing its own weight.

• It sinks completely.

How does a balloon filled with water behave when placed in water?

• It floats immediately.

• It sinks until it displaces its own weight.

• It remains on the surface.

• It pops.

What increases as weight is added to a ship?

• The ship's length.

• The ship's speed.

• The number of crew members.

• The hull's draught.

What is the term for the distance from the waterline to the top of the hull?

• Freeboard.

• Displacement.

• Draught.

• Buoyancy.

What does the 'Reserve of Buoyancy' refer to?

• The amount of fuel on board.

• The total weight of the ship.

• The area of the hull above the waterline.

• The area of the hull below the waterline.

What is buoyancy?

• The size of the ship.

• The depth of the water.

• The force that helps objects float.

• The weight of the ship.

What principle explains why a ship floats?

• Newton's Law.

• Bernoulli's Principle.

• Archimedes' Principle.

• Pascal's Principle.

What happens if the weight of the ship is greater than the buoyant force?

• The ship will remain stationary.

• The ship will sink.

• The ship will capsize.

• The ship will float.

What factors can change the displacement of a ship?

• Weather conditions.

• The crew's experience.

• Adding or using fuel and food.

• The ship's color.

What is not counted in the Reserve of Buoyancy?

• The ship's weight.

• The waterline.

• The superstructure.

• The hull.
