2.Why ships float in water?


An object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces here the

weight of the ship is less than that the amount of water it displaces. Hence it floats on

water.

Long Answer Type Questions :


How are materials classified according to their transparency?

Answer: Materials are classified into three types based on their transparency. They
are as follows:

a) Transparent: Transparent substances or materials allow things to be seen through


them. For example, glass, water, and paper.

b)Translucent: Translucent materials are those that allow objects to be seen but not
clearly. For example, Oily paper.

c)Opaque: There are some materials that you cannot see through. These are known
as opaque materials. For example, Wood, Cardboard and metal.
