Yes, it is.
When we say "weight", what is meant technically is the force required to decelerate a mass by a given amount or contrarily to accelerate a mass to a given velocity.
Every time we apply a force to a mass, the mass's speed increases (acceleration)
Gravity is a form of acceleration, the Earth is trying to pull us down, however the surface of the planet supplies an opposite force that stops us from falling through the surface.
The force required to stop us from falling through the surface of the Earth is also known as our weight.
As force = mass x acceleration, any individual with a larger mass means that the Earth's surface has to provide a larger force (weight) to oppose the gravitation.

Does An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?
No, an object's buoyant force and weight are not the same thing. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object downward, while buoyant force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it that opposes the object's weight. buoyant force can act in the opposite direction of weight if the object is floating in a fluid.
On a force diagram are gravity and weight the same thing?
When constructing a force diagram on an object one of the first vectors you should draw is the weight vector. Its always there (because everything has weight) and it always points toward the earth. Weight is the force that the earth attracts on objects due to gravity. So gravity is not really a force and is not part of a force diagram. It is simply an explanation of where the weight force comes from.
What describes the notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the objects weight?
The notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight is known as Archimedes' principle. According to this principle, an object will float when the upward force (buoyant force) exerted by the fluid it displaces is equal to the downward force (weight) of the object.
True or false an object buoyant force and weight arent the same thing?
Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
Is gravity the same as weight?
Gravity is not the same as weight. Using the MKS unit system, gravity is a constant of acceleration (9.8m/s2) while weight is a Force in Newtons which can be calculated using: Fweight = mass*acceleration where mass is in kilograms and acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity.

Is gravitational force same for every body?
no, because gravitational force depents on the object's weight.
How is mass weight and force the same?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and force is a push or pull on an object. In the context of Earth's gravity, an object's weight is directly proportional to its mass, because weight is the force resulting from the gravitational pull on an object's mass.

How much down force is needed to lift a helicopter?
The same force as the weight of the helicopter and its crew and cargo.
What sentence can you use with buoyant force and Archimedes principle the same sentence?
a bouoyant force a weight and light
Force of gravity on a person or object at the same surface of a planet?
weight
How can two objectes with different masses execute the same force?
If the weight of both masses are the same.
Does weight have direction?
Yes. Weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object. So, it has the same direction as gravity.
How are volume and weight the same?
They're not. Weight is the force produced on a mass by gravity. Volume is totally independent.
