Does the force of gravity on an object differ from above and below water?

No. The mutual forces of gravity between the Earth and an object are exactly
the same when the object is underwater as they are when it's above water.
But when the object is underwater, there's an upward buoyant force on it,
which compensates and cancels some or all of the gravitational force.

What is the distance of an object above or below sea level?
Elevation.
What is the object in angle of elevation and depression?
It can be any object that is above or below the horizontal from the perspective of a viewer.
When do you use the words above under or below?
These words are used to indicate the position of one object in relation to another. "Above" is used when one object is situated at a higher level than another, while "below" is used when one object is situated at a lower level than another.
Uses words such as above below and beside?
"Please place the book above the desk." "The cat is sleeping below the table." "The cup is beside the lamp."
How can the center of gravity of an object be experimentally deternined?
-- Hang the object from at least two different points on it, in turn. -- During each hanging, draw a line on the object, directly downward, starting at the point from which it hangs. -- The object always hangs with its center of gravity directly below the point from which it hangs. So all such lines pass through the center of gravity, which is indicated by the point at which two or more such lines intersect.
What do words such as behind beside above and Below describe about an object?

Is the center of gravity always in the center of the object?
The earth pulls every molecule of an object in a downwards direction, or in other words every molecule of an object has a weight. We can add all the millions of tiny molecule weights together and get a single resultant force for the weight of the whole object. So an object behaves as if its whole weight was a single force which acts through a point G called its centre of gravity. An object of uniform thickness and density has its mass evenly spread throughout and its centre of gravity is at its geometrical centre. Some examples of objects with regular shapes and uniform densities are shown in the figures below. It is interesting to note the centre of gravity of an object is not necessarily inside the object.
As a freely falling object speeds up what is happening to its acceleration due to gravity?
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.
How do Mercury and Neptune differ in temperature?
Neptune can reach way below freezing and Mercury can reach way above burning.
What keeps blood flowing towards the heart in the largest veins?
gravity for those above your heart and valves for those below
What happens to the speed of an object over time if the motion of the object is accelerating at first?
The speed of the object reaches a level such that it obliterates the graph above and possibly puts the answer in the box below!
What is the differenc between above and below ground swimming pool pumps?
Above ground pumps have to be gravity fed, and the in ground pumps pull a vacuum and draw the water to them.
