Yes. An isolated mass (one without any other masses near it, where "near" is defined generously) has no discernible weight, and an object in freefall has mass but no weight.
Yes. An object in free fall, for example, has mass but no weight.

No. Weight is the force exerted by the mass of the object when acted upon by gravity.

Can a object have weight without having mass?

No. Weight is the result of gravity acting on mass.


Can an object lose mass without losing weight?

No. Mass is directly propotional to weight.


What is the mass of an object having a weight of 45.32 N?

An object that weighs 45.32 N on earth has 4.624 kg of mass. (rounded)


Can an object have mass and not weight?

Weight is due to gravitational pull on the massive objects. If acceleration due to gravity is 0, then weight too becomes 0 In free space any massive object having mass does not have weight at all.

Mass is the weight of the object without the gravitational force acting on it..........


How can you change weight and not the mass?

There is really only 1 way you can change the weight of an object without changing the mass. You must change gravity.

What is the difrference between weight and mass?

Weight is how heavy and object is and Mass is the size of the object!


Does mass equal half the weight of an object?

No. Mass and weight are two separate but related properties. Mass is the amount of matter within object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. So and object's mass depends on the mass of the object and the strength of gravity where it is. Weight= mass x gravity.


What is the amount of mass is in an object is it it's weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.


What 2 ways are weight and mass different?

Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity on an object. An object normally has a constant mass, but weight varies with gravity. An object in space will have no weight, but still have the same mass.
