If an object is neutrally buoyant in a liquid (i.e upthrust = weight), ................
It will neither float nor sink. It will float just below the surface of the liquid.

If we place an empty plastic bottle in water, it will float. How can we make the bottle sink in water?
By increasing the mass of the bottle by filling it with water or by filling it with denser objects like coins or pebbles

Where will a feather fall faster? in air or in vacuum? Why?
In vacuum because in air, the upthrust of the air is greater than the weight of the feather however, in vacuum, since there is no upthrust it will fall faster.

True or False: If two objects have the same size or colour, they will both float.
False. Flotation depends on the mass of the object and density of the fluid.

Why does changing a clay ball into a clay boat allows it to float?
Because the average density reduces due to the volume of air in the boat
