No. Weight = mass * g, where g = 9.8 m/s2, a constant. The mass of an object does not change unless it undergoes a chemical or nuclear change. Hence its weight is a constant too.
However, the "apparent weight" changes because the inherent weight is now compensated somewhat by buoyancy, acting in the opposite direction as gravity. The weight of a piece of wood in water will be completely opposed by the buoyancy and so it floats. The weight of a concrete block cannot be completely compensated by buoyancy and so it sinks.

What objects float in gasoline?
objectsfloats on water, oil and kero depending on the objects density or the objects weight.
What is it called when objects displace as much water as they weigh?
buoyancyAn object that displaces its own weight in water is said to be "floating".
What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
Everything in or on water pushes some water aside even if just a little bit. This is called .?
This is called "displacement", as the weight of water that moves is equal to the weight of the object on the water. Heavier objects displace more water. If the total weight of the object is greater than the water displaced by its volume, it is denser than water, and sinks.

Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Does an objects weight change in space?
Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.
What is the scientific definition of deficit?
It is weight changes depending on gravity. Weight can change. The pull of gravity determines an objects weight.
How do different sized and weight objects settle in water?
Objects which are less dense than water will float. Objects denser than water will float or sink depending on the volume of water that they displace and that will depend on their shape.
Dose the weight of water change if you add a fish?
If there is no overflow of water, then the container's over-all weight goes up by the weight of the fish. The weight of the water itself doesn't change.
What objects can you change from liquid to solid by freezing?
Water.
When objects float they displace an amount of water equal to their?
equal to their weight
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Does weight change when water freezes?
No. The mass doesn't change, so the weight doesn't change either.
Is weight measured of the gravitational force on an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Is the weight of an object gravitational force of an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Why do objects weight change as they travel through space?
Because weight is based on gravity, and gravity changes throughout space.
