3.4.2 Journal: What Floats Your Boat

2. Explain to someone who has not studied physical science how an object as large as an aircraft carrier can float in water.

3. When you step into a very full bath or hot tub, sometimes the water overflows. But when you step into a lake and swim, you don’t notice the level of the water rise at all. Explain why this is.

2.which choice most accurately explains what happens to the bonds between atoms when water changes to steam, and what becomes of the energy added during this phase change? when water changes to steam bonds between molecules are created. after reaching the boiling point, energy is used to change bond strength and change the kinetic energy of the atoms. when water changes to steam bonds between molecules break apart. after reaching the boiling point, energy is used to break bonds, but does not affect the kinetic energy of the atoms. when water changes to steam bonds between molecules are created. after reaching the boiling point, energy is used to break bonds, but does not affect the kinetic energy of the atoms. when water changes to steam bonds between molecules break apart. after reaching the boiling point, energy is used to change bond strength and change the kinetic energy of the atoms.
