What makes paper boats float?
Paper boats are able to float because there is greater force involved with the water pushing up against the boat than the boat pushing down. Paper boats float based on the principle of buoyancy, which is the same principle that explains why anything floats.
How do boats float?
The air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! As a ship is set in water, it pushes down and displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. What is buoyancy in physics? Buoyancy (/?b???nsi, ?bu?j?nsi/), or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.
