Only about 30 mimutes, unless you wax the paper (both sides) before you build it.
Yes, a paper boat can float on water as long as it is well-made and the paper is not too thin. The boat's ability to float depends on its design and the displacement of water.
for about ten minutes, then it gets soggy and sinks.
The duration a cardboard boat can float depends on various factors, including the boat's design, construction quality, and water conditions. Generally, a well-constructed cardboard boat can float for several hours to a few days before waterlogging or structural failure occurs. To maximize longevity, waterproofing techniques, such as applying sealants or coatings, can be employed. Ultimately, the lifespan of a cardboard boat is limited, but with care, it can provide a fun and functional experience for a limited time.
Boat has a long O sound. The OA is pronounced O as in coat, float, and goat.

Of course you can, because Styrofoam can float on top of water for a long time. A lot of newer boats have Styrofoam in the bottom for added buoyancy if you do add it to your boat, be sure that there is no moisture in the bottom of boat when you do it if not completely dry , moisture will be trapped and eventually rot any wood that was used in the boat's construction.
The vowel sound of the OA in "boat" will be a long O (oh)sound, as in coat and float.
The force that enables a boat to float is called buoyancy. This force arises from the displacement of water when the boat is placed in it, according to Archimedes' principle. The weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the boat creates an upward buoyant force that counteracts the weight of the boat, allowing it to float. As long as the buoyant force is equal to or greater than the weight of the boat, it will remain afloat.
As long as it can displace a volume of water equal to its mass (ie its density is less than that of the water) it will float. Most paper will have a density less than that of water (or can be so folded) so will float.
Yes. The OA vowel pair has a long O sound, as in float and loan.
A boat floats because it is less dense than the water it displaces. The upward force acting on the boat from the water is called buoyancy, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the boat downward. As long as the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the boat will float on the surface of the water.
No. The OA pair has the long O (oh) sound, as in boat and coat.
