An object must have mass for there to be weight. There also must be another mass (such as Earth) that exerts a gravitational pull on the object for there to be weight.

What is in the center of gravity?
The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.
Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
Can upthrust act at a distance?
N o! the upthrust can not act at a distance because it acts on the centre of gravity of the object submerged in water in the opposite direction of weight.
Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?
No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.
The weight of an object is the force of?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity.
If the apparent weight of an object can be found by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object what is the apparent weight of the floating object?
Zero.
Why might scientists measure the weight of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
When you lift an object up two forces act on it identify these forces?
Lifting force acting upward Weight of the object acting downward Both are equal and opposite to each other
What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?
The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
