What is the downward force on a submerged object?
The object's own weight is pulling it down.
Does force exerted on a body by light affect the mass or weight?
-- Light shining on a body would certainly not affect the object's mass. -- Technically, it would affect the object's apparent weight, if it were shining down on it while the object stood on the scale. Just as a heavy overcoat or helmet would. That's not a real change in the person's weight. It's only a change in the total weight standing on the scale, because there's some additional force pushing down on the person. Light exerts force on you just as surely as a brick in your hand does, only much less ... too little for you to notice the difference on your bathroom scale.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
What is the amount of force with which gravity pulls down an object?
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
Are weight and mass similar?
Yes, very alike, but mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object.
What is the downward force on a submerged object?
The object's own weight is pulling it down.
Can the weight of an object change the shape of another object?
Sure, if one object presses down on another object.

Is the amount of matter in an object weight?
No, weight is how much gravity is pulling down on an object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
What is the amount of force with which gravity pulls down an object?
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
Is the weight of an object is the force of gravity pulling down on it or not?
yes
Are weight and mass similar?
Yes, very alike, but mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object.
How will an unbalanced force in the direction opposite motion affect an object's motion?
This will cause the object to slow down.
Does the weight of and object affects how fast it goes down a plank?
It is possible.
Does weight speed up an object moving down a hill?
It does if it is on wheels
