Yes it does because depending on the materials of the boat and how much their mass is can change the buoyancy of the toy boat. Boat can be designed to have less volume in order for it to have less density and be able to float. So if the material's mass is alot if can make the boat sink. If the material's mass is not alot then it can help the boat float. If the shape is designed to have more volume than mass it will float. If not then it will sink.

Does the shape of a boat affect the weight it can carry?
Yes I think the shape of a boat will affect a foil boat because when you change the shape of a boat like when you make a triangle or a square it will affect the weight it can carry
How does an objects size and shape affect buoyancy?
Well, buoyancy is capacity to float in liquid. So the object needs to have air to make it float an example for an boat the Titanic for example was really heavy it was made out of steel so it had air in the bottom to make the ship float.
How does buoyancy affects a boat?
Buoyancy affects a boat by keeping it "on" the water, not "under" the water.
Does gravity allow a boat to float on water?
Without gravity, a boat wouldn't be able to float on water, so yes, gravity allows a boat to float (as well as sink into) water. A boat floats from buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is from the volume of water it displaces with it's shape below the water. The buoyancy force is equal to the volume of water it displaces multiplied by 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot (the density of water). So if the boat displaces 20 cubic feet of water with it's hull or shape it can hold 20 x 62.4 = 1248 lbs. of self weight plus cargo. Obviously there should be a factor of safety on that. In summary, a boat needs two things to float on water: Gravity and buoyancy force. Gravity keeps the boat on the water in the first place, but the buoyancy force is the actual thing that keeps the boat afloat. Technically, it is the buoyancy force that allows a boat to float, but if you want to get really technical, it is gravity in the first place that allows a boat to float on water.
How does an iron boat float?
Buoyancy!
How can buoyancy be demonstrated?
buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water
How do you use buoyancy?
Buoyancy is what keeps a boat floating on the top of the water. Buoyancy is what makes a helium balloon float in the air.
How do you use the buoyancy on a boat?
By putting it in water.
What is buoyancy and how does it affect a blimp?
buoyancy is a measure of how well an object will float in a given medium, eg: a boat in water. similarly for a blimp, the blimp is the object, the air is the medium. if it is not buoyant enough, it will not 'float' in the air, aka fly
What is the fullform of boat?
Buoyancy Operated Aquatic Transport
What does the hull do on a boat?
Basically, the hull on a boat keeps out the water, and displaces the water to create buoyancy, which enables the boat to float.
Why is the boat floating in the sea?
Its called buoyancy When a solid surface such as a boats hull is placed into water, it will only sink if first is heavy enough to fall into the water and second, if the water is able to fill it up and make it heavy in the first place.
