It all depends on what it is made of. Some made of metal will sink and others made of wood will not. Also the amount of air inside the enclosed part will also determine if it will or will not float.

A heavy toy car will travel further than a light toy car?

I'll accept that. What's your question ?


Will the mass of a toy car affect the car's speed?

Yes. If it is heavy it will go slower than a light toy car, if it is light it will movefaster than a heavier car.


Why does a heavy toy car go faster than a lighter toy car and get acorss a jump?

A heavier toy car is better to go down a ramp and make a jump better than a light car because the heavier the toy car is, the faster gravity will force it to roll down the ramp, and with all its speed, be able to make the jump. Of course, you wouldn't want to make the toy car so heavy so that it barely or doesn't move at all. Just like drops of water when it's raining outside and a few drops hit your window. The heavier drops drip off faster than the smaller ones, and that goes the same with cars, too.


How does weight affect speed of a toy car?

All other factors being equal, a heavier toy car will move slower than a lighter toy because of it's weight.


Why do plasticine float?

The pen weighs less than its equivalent volume of water weighs.Putting the pen underwater shoves an amount of water out of the way equal to the amount of space the pen takes up. This is called displacement. For the pen, the displaced water weighs more than the pen, so it can force the pen up and out of the water instead of the pen forcing more water out of the way and sinking to the bottom.Eventually, when most of the pen is out of the water, the small volume of the pen that is still beneath the surface displaces an amount of water whose weight equals the total weight of the pen. It then floats at this equilibrium depth, with the pen being pulled down with a force equal to the displaced water's weight pushing up.

That depends what it's made of ! A metal one will sink, but a wooden or plastic one will float.


Does a toy dinosaur float or sink in water?

If its density is less than 1.00 it floats. Otherwise it sinks.


Can a toy boat float in cold water better than in warm water?

There is no difference on how well a toy boat will float in water depending upon the temperature. The ability for an object to float is if it can displace more than its own weight in water, which doesn't depend on the temperature of the water.


Its for a science experiment that I have to do. You can not touch the submarine during the process. How do you build a submarine that will float in a tank then sink and then float again?

Put an Alka-Seltzer tablet inside before you put it in the water - the expanding gas from the tablets when the water hits them will force the water out and float it. Old toy submarines used the same thing when I was growing up in the '60's - make sure you've got a mild weight on the keel to help it sink, but not too heavy. Usually coins will work.


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.

How to Choose Toy Boats?

When looking for new toys to purchase for a kid one great toy that could be appreciated and played with for years is a toy boat.� When choosing a toy boat, there are several factors to consider. One factor to consider when choosing a toy boat is whether it can float in water.� Some boats are simply replicas but do not have the buoyancy to float on their own. Choosing a boat that can float easily in water would make it a far more functional choice for the child to play with.� The boat should also have the ability hold a certain level of cargo as well.� ��
