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 relationship between weight mass and gravity?
weight = mass x gravity
Which of these are directly proportional to each other in the same location on earth?
weight and mass
Why does an object with twice the mass of another weigh twice as much?
In the same gravity, downward force (weight) is directly proportional to the mass. (F=mA) If you had two objects of equal mass, and combined them, the weight would be the same as the total of the two.
Why is weight directly proportinal to mass?
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity As acceleration due to gravity remains constant at a given place, weight becomes proportional to the mass
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
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 happens to weight as mass is increased?
As the mass increases, the weight also increases correspondingly as the weight is directly proportional to the mass

weight and mass
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.

Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
Is weight and mass proportional but not equal?
true or false. weight and mass are proportional but not equal
How do you determine a person's mass?
You weigh an object to determine its mass. Weight is directly proportional to mass, and in fact most balances are calibrated in mass units such as kilograms.
When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
What does it mean to say mass and weight are proportional to each other?
It means that although they are not equal, there is a correlation between them, e.g., mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
