Question:

Do you think rubbing Vaseline on the bottom of an aluminum foil boat will help it stay up longer?

For physics class I have to make a boat no larger than 100 centimeters squared out of aluminum foilI has to hold more than 25 pennies to get a passing grade, more than 40 to get an AWill putting Vaseline on the bottom surface of the boat (the part that touches the water) help in any way? I came up with the idea because I think it would help it stick to the surface of the water better.

Answer:

DBoron has a extreme circulate area for absorption of thermal neutronsquickly neutrons are made out of fission, yet they don't reason fission till they alter into thermalizedquickly neutrons will zoom suitable by boron.
The shape of the boat is what is important for keeping it up.
