What is the difference between ぶったい and もの and ものごと and じぶつ?
ぶったい and もの are physical objects. In particular, ぶったい indicates a mysterious or unknown object.ものごと can be anything (even non-physical objects) and it indicates a plurality of things, right? Is my understanding correct?
Also, what about じぶつ? How does it differ from the other terms? Provide example sentences and a translation as well!

Let me explain extremely simple. ぶったい(物体)- object、 もの -thing.
Like English language has two layers, German-originated words and Latin-French-originate words, Japanese has Japanese-originated and Chinese originated words. ぶったい, it's a Chiinese、もの, it's an original Japanese.
もの is 'thing visible', and ’こと', thing invisible, concept, or thoght. ’こと' is a Japanese Japanese. ものごと is a Japanese Japanese, じぶつ is a Chinese Japanese.
>ぶったい indicates a mysterious or unknown object.ものごと can be anything (even non-physical >objects) and it indicates a plurality of things, right? Is my understanding correct?
ものごと cannot be physical.
Which has broader meaning and usage, 'object' and 'thing'. I believe it's 'thing'. For example, maybe you can say 'The thing is ....' or 'The main thing is ' , but not 'The object is....'. Same thing happen in 'ぶったい(物体)' and 'もの’ e.g, やるもんだね~(=やるものだね~) means 'you do it great!'.
I think the word '事物' is only used in old philosophical writing or translation. e.g, "
事物を根底において理解せんと欲するとき…"
'ものごと' can be used in daily conversation. e.g, '物事そう簡単にはいかないさ'
Feel free to ask question.
P.S: 'もの' is very important for understanding Japanse language. It's a big issue.

Your understating about ぶったい、もの、ものごと is basically correct. However, to me, ものごと can be もの and/or こと so it could be a single physical object (もの) and/or a non-physical object such a concept, thought, property, etc (こと).
じぶつ (事物); we rarely use this in conversation. My dictionary says ものごと (物事) focuses on もの while じぶつ focuses on こと. However, I do not prioritize もの and/or こと in ものごと. I believe that It's just what we commonly say. When I hear じぶつ instead of ものごと in conversation, I may not understand what that word is. So, I do not think of example sentences with it.
