A plastic toy boat sinks primarily due to its density relative to water. If the overall weight of the boat, including any water it has taken on, exceeds the buoyant force acting on it, the boat will submerge. Additionally, if the boat's design allows water to enter, it can lose buoyancy and sink. Properly designed toy boats should displace enough water to stay afloat, but any flaws or excess weight can lead to sinking.

Does a toy car sink or float?
That depends what it's made of ! A metal one will sink, but a wooden or plastic one will float.
Do plastic boats sink or float?
All plastic items float on water, so therefore a plastic boat floats on water.
Do material and shape affect buoyancy of a toy boat?
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.
Why does a plastic toy sink?
A plastic toy sinks if its density is greater than that of the water it is in. Density is defined as mass per unit volume; if the toy's mass is heavy relative to its size, it will displace less water than its own weight, causing it to sink. Additionally, if the toy has air-filled cavities or is designed to float, it may remain on the surface instead.
If a boat got a hole and you covered it with plastic would your boat still sink and if yes why?
yes. if there was still a gap for water to get in.. if you had fully covered the hole with no gaps. then it would stop the water coming in..... pail out what water there was in the boat. and it should not sink....
What was the boat which sink?
