True or false an object has a mass of 100 grams it also has a weight of 100 oz?

False. Mass is a fundamental concept in physics, roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of how much matter there is in an object. In everyday usage, mass is more commonly referred to as weight, but in physics and engineering, weight means the strength of the gravitational pull on the object; that is, how heavy it is, measured in units of force. In everyday situations, the weight of an object is proportional to its mass, which usually makes it unproblematic to use the same word for both concepts. Thus 100 grams would normally weigh 3.52739 oz (not 100 oz)
To make a 100 gram mass weigh 100 oz you would need to increase the strength of gravity more than 28 times.

True or False can you determine the bouyant force on an object if you know the weight of that object?
If you were to say that it's possible, we would say that your statement is false.
True or false An object weight can change depending on gravity?
That is true! Weight is how much gravity is pulling on an object. For example, on the moon, an object will weigh about 6 times less than it does on Earth. Mass, on the other hand, stays the same ALL THE TIME, no matter where you are.
Solubility describes how well an object will float true or false?
true
When you perform work on an object you increase the energy of the object true or false?
true
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 this statement True or False The amount of matter in an object is it's weight?
False It should read: The amount of matter in an object is its mass (not weight)
True or False can you determine the bouyant force on an object if you know the weight of that object?
If you were to say that it's possible, we would say that your statement is false.
Is this true or false the weight of a substance defined as its mass divided by it volume?
2nd answer: In fact, weight = mass if the massive object is on Earth.
Archimedes' principle states that an object placed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force to the weight of the fluid it displaces true or false?
TRUE

True or false an object that revolves around another object does not move?
false

true
When you perform work on an object you increase the energy of the object true or false?
true
When you perform work on an object you increase the energy of the object. true or false?
true
Balanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate True or false?
false
- true or false an object with no force on it must be at rest?
false
When an object moves work has occurred true or false?
false
