Is it true that an object sinks because the weight of the fluid displaced is the greater than the weight of the object?

Just replace the word "greater" with the word "less"
and you've got yourself a true statement.

Why things sink into water any why not?
An object will sink if it has a greater density than water. In this case, the weight of the water displaced by the object is less than the weight of the object.
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
If an object weighs 20 n it displaces a volume of water that weighs 15 n What is the bouyant force of the object?
According to Archimedes principle...An object immersed in water experiences a force equal to the weight of the volume of liquid displaced by it. Here the weight of liquid displaced is 15n. So, the upward buoyant force experienced by that object is 15n.
Why is an immersed object buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces?
Because buoyancy is a property of fluids, and not the object immersed in them. By comparing densities, you get that buoyancy is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, because the volume of an object is equal to the volume displaced.
What makes an object seem to weight less when you hold it in a pool of water?
This phenomenon is called buoyancy and is caused by the object displacing water equal to its volume. If the weight of the object is less than the weight of this displaced water, then the object has positive buoyancy and will float. If the weight of the object is exactly equal to the weight of this displaced water, then the object has neutral buoyancy and thus be weightless. If the weight of the object is greater than the weight of this displaced water, then the object has negative buoyancy and will sink but it still weighs less than it did out of the water.Just remember buoyancy only affects the weight of the object, it has no effect on the mass of the object which remains constant in or out of water.
Is it true that If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater?
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
Explain Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes' Principle relates the weight of a fluid displaced to the object placed in the fluid. If the weight of the fluid displaced is less than the object's weight ,then the object sinks. When the weights of the object and displaced water are equal, the object will float.
What is the principle of flotation?
weight of displaced fluid = weight of object
As an object falls deeper into a fluid the buoyant force is what?
Increasing, because the volume of displaced fluid, and therefore the weight of displaced fluid, is increasing.
What is Archimedes princible?
Archimedes principle states that : The force of buoyancy is equal to the weight of the displaced water. If the weight of the water displaced is less than the weight of the object , the object will sink. Otherwise the object will float , with the weight of the water displace equal to the weight of the object.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object itself or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
Does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object depend on the weight of the object or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
The buoyant force on any object in a fluid ... whether partially or fully submerged ... isequal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. That's related to the object'svolume, and has nothing to do with its weight.
