This can apply to many objects; vehicles like ships or boats or even human or other material objects like balls and other dense objects. It is also used as a term to describe suspension in outer space or any space without the presence of gravity. Like flying, floating also denotes movement but in a non-specific direction. Floating also denotes a slow movement without any indication or control.
In this respect, the word is akin to drifting or wandering but on water. Another difference is the base word of each term. In transport, flying and floating are also used as descriptions for machinery that makes transport possible in both modern aircrafts and marine vessels. Aside from their respective field of traveling by either air or by water, floating and flying also have different uses in other fields. Flying is also used as a term in the nautical field, referring to not secured spars or stays.
Floating is also used in economics in relation to capital and debt , medicine as a descriptive term for an unsecured or drifting organ , government, politics and diplomacy, as well as electronics. For flying, suspension happens in the air or in the atmosphere while in floating it happens in any kind of fluid typically water or in outer space. Flying is associated with aviation while floating is often used in maritime or a water-based context. In flying, suspension is placed or centered on a particular mechanism or part of the vehicle.
On the other hand, the suspension in floating is positioned on the whole or the body of the object. Although, both flying and floating denote being loose and a separation, the elements of direction, speed, and movement are precise in the flying.
This is the opposite in floating. A hang-glider pilot was recently questioned about whether he was really flying. Most people would agree that the person falling from the hang-glider is not flying but that the person still on the hang-glider is.
This leads into a useful definition of flight that includes hang-gliders as flying, but certainly does not include the person falling. The person falling from the hang-glider has no lift to counter gravity, so they fall towards the ground, and they also have no thrust to counter air resistance.
Because they have neither lift nor thrust, this is definitely not an example of flying — it is an example of falling. What about a stone being thrown through the air? For the whole time the stone is in the air, the force of gravity is pulling it downwards. The stone is falling for the whole time that it is in the air. Is a hot-air balloon flying? A hot-air balloon has lift to counter gravity.
The hot air inside the balloon is less dense, which means that the air particles are not as closely packed together. The result is that the air inside the balloon is lighter than the air outside the balloon so the balloon will rise until the total weight force downwards is equal to the weight of the air that it is displacing.
However, the hot-air balloon has no thrust force to counter air resistance. In fact, the hot-air balloon will change speed until it is moving at the same speed as the air around it. It cannot counter drag. It will change speed until there is no drag. Because the hot-air balloon has no thrust, we cannot say that it is flying. Floating is the basis for all strokes and water safety ensuring that we never force our children to float.
We encourage them with games and fun, looking in mirror, smiling at our selves and Mum or Dad. Looking at the stars on the roof, twinkle twinkle little star is a wonderful way to help bubs float and get their head back, the skill of floating is quite a hard skill for a scared child. Getting them to put their head back relaxing, feet up, relaxing did I say relaxing, yes the most important part of floating. Unless your child is relaxed and confident there is no chance they're going to float.
In saying this how do we build confidence? By having fun, building confidence, building trust, being low in the water. We float in all four strokes at some point if we can't get the basis of our strokes in a float the child is gping to struggle in all aspects of swimming.
