No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish
when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).
If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment
is equal to the object's weight.
Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.

Does an objects buoyant and weight mean the same thing?
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
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.
Does An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
An object in a liquid has a buoyant force and is lifted by the weight of the liquid which it displaces?
Not all objects float. A given object may or may not weigh more than the weight of the liquid which it displaces. So while there is a lifting force, it is not necessarily true that the object in question will actually be lifted by that force. It may still sink.APEX :An object's buoyant force and weight aren't the same thing* True !- Amburr Minajj !However, it is still true that when an object does float, it is being lifted by the weight of the liquid that it displaces, and that's what the question asks, Amburr Minajj. I answered the question, and you ostentatiously crossed out my answer and replaced it with an observation that fails to answer the question. This is not an improvement. -- David6023
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.
Why do ships sink deeper in fresh water than in salt water?
Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.

Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.
How does an objects volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
What causes the acceleration of moving objects?
Force is the only thing that causes the accelerationof material objects, whether they're moving or not.
Is there such thing as weight?
Yes. Weight is the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity.
How would the buoyant force acting on the floating clay shape change if it were immersed in seawater?
The buoyant force from seawater would be greater than the force from freshwater. This is because seawater is denser than freshwater. This means that a clay shape which floats could carry a heavier load before sinking in seawater than in fresh water.
The force that gravity exerts on an object is called?
If the object is on or near the Earth's surface, then most people call that force the object's "weight". Nobody ever gives any attention to the gravitational force that the object exerts on the Earth, probably because it happens to be exactly the same as the object's weight on the Earth. The neat thing about it, however, is that the same force is also the Earth's weight on the object.
