Although generally accepted as synonymous, mass and weight are not scientifically the same things. While mass may be defined as the amount of matter in a body, weight is actually a force that arises due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. While mass remains practically constant under normal conditions, the weight changes as the gravitational pull changes. If a bag of groceries has a mass of 10kg, then it's weight maybe calculated using the relation W=m*g (* denotes multiplication), where W is the weight (to be found), m is the mass (=10kg in this case) and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity whose value on earth surface is approximately 9.8m/s2. This value is practically constant on the earth surface but varies with height and depth. On the moon it's value is 1/6 of the value on earth. Thus the weight of the bag on earth works out to be 9.8*10=98N. N stands for Newton after the scientist who gave the concept of force. It is the unit of force in the S.I system and it's value equals 1kg*m/s2.

How does the conservation of mass help us daily?
It helps you to know that if you loaded a 10 pound bag of groceries into your car you will unload a 10 pound bag of groceries from your car at home, not a 37 pound bag or a 2 pound bag...
What is the mass of 10kg?
98 Newtons.
If 10 bags weigh 0.5 grams how much does 1 bag weigh?
Mass is measured in grams, not weight.
What is the mass and weight of a 10-kg object on Earth?
10 kilograms is the mass. To calculate the weight (in newtons), multiply the mass by 9.8.
Could you convert .10 mol of NaNO3 to grams?
#moles = mass/molar mass mass = #moles*molar mass mass = .10 moles*(atomic weight of na+atomic weight of N+3(atomic weight of oxygen)
How many cups are in a five lb bag of flour?
It would come out to about 10 cups. You should measure weight when baking! Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.
How many grams in a bag of flour?
depends on the size of the bag
How much does a dime bag weight out too?
Dime Meaning 10.. $10= 1 Gram. ;)
Does mass and weight are proportional to one another?
Yes, weight is directly proportional to mass, on earth weight = mass X 9.8 or sometimes it is simplified to 10, the unit for weight is newtons (N)
What is the best estimate of the weight of a large bag of flour?
Most flour comes in a 5 pound bag or a 10 pound bag.
How many cups in a 10 lb bag of sugar?
In 10 lb sugar are 22 3/4 US cups.
