How much more does an object weigh after it has been submerged out of water?
Submerged "out-of-water". That is not possible. It is either submerged or it is out of water. Even when an object is submerger or partically submerged it will not weigh less. The physical characteristics (weight) of the object cannot be changed. The object, when placed in water will displace a certain amount of water and the object will float if the weight of the displaced water is more that the weight of the object. The object will then sink if it weighted more that the weight of the water it displaces. That said, the actual weight of the object doesnt change but if a scale were attached to it while hanging in air, it would read greater that when the object is floating or submerged in water.
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.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
What is the downward force on a submerged object?
The object's own weight is pulling it down.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?
On its volume.
What effect does buoyant force have on a submerged object?
The weight of the water displaced by the object is subtracted from the actual weight of the object (out of water), leaving the object with a net positive weight while submerged.

When the weight of a submerged object is less than the buoyant force will the object sink?
No.
What is the downward force on a submerged object?
The object's own weight is pulling it down.
Is the weight of a submerged object equal to the weight of the displaced fluid?
No, it is equal in volume.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?
On its volume.
Does the bouyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object?
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
What is the underwater weight of an object that sinks to the bottom of a body of water and is completely submerged?
You will find that such an object will weigh its weight on land minus the weight of the water it displaceswhen submerged. It doesn't seem possible, but it is true. This kind of result is called 'counterintuitive'.
What happens when the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force?
It is stationary, regardless of where it is.
How does the buoyant force on a submerged object compare with the weight of water displaced?
They are equal.
