Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward.

Also ...

-- Weight depends on the object's mass.

-- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.

An objects buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.


Newton's Principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

False, this is Archimedes's Principle.

False, this is Archimedes's Principle.


Newtons principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?

because bouyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in, if a fluis is displaced by the volume of an object the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on the object


Archimedes' principle states that an object placed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force to the weight of the fluid it displaces true or false?

TRUE


If an object is placed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces the object will float?

If the buoyant force is less than the weight, the object must accelerate down. If it ever displaces enough water to increase the buoyant force to equal its weight, then it'll stop sinking. Otherwise, it goes straight to the bottom.


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produces?

FALSE


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?

FALSE


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is greater than the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?

FALSE


When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is less that the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced true or false?

true


Which direction does a buoyant force act in?

A buoyant force is produced when an object is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest .


Is this statement True or False The amount of matter in an object is it's weight?

False It should read: The amount of matter in an object is its mass (not weight)
