How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
What is defined as weight?
Weight is a force that is measured in newtons (N). It is the force of the gravitational pull on you from the planet (or even moon) you are on. This is why your weight changes when going to different planets or to the moon.
How is weight and mass different?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of force of gravity on an object
Weight is the measure of the force of what?
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on a person. This is why, when you visit another planet that has a different gravitational pull, you may weight more or less because gravity has less effect on you.
What are the different forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid?
2 forces act on a body when it is ... Weight&buoyant force
Why is weight different from mass because weight depends on the force of gravity?
Yes because it had a force of gravity
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
Why is your weight different in other planet than in earth?
When you are on a planet your weight depends on how massive the planet is and how close to the center you are (planet's radius). That's because the planet is attracting you with the force of gravity and the force is larger if its mass is larger and the distance to the center is smaller. Since the different planets have different masses and different sizes the gravitational force on you will be different, so your weight will be different.

What is the force that makes your weight change on different planets?
Gravity
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
How the gravitational force of earth is different from gravitational force of moon?
less gravity if you weight 180 pound on the moon you weight only 30 pound
How is measurement of weight different from of mass?
Which term describes how much space a substance occupies? volume Not sure how that question relates to the one initially asked, but the answer to 'How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?' is weight includes the force of gravity. Weight Includes The Force Of Gravity (A+)Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity in relation to mass, while mass is the measurement of matter in an object.

Why force required to move box of same weight changes in case of different surfaces in contact?
Force required to move a box of the same weight changes in the case of different surfaces in contact due to friction.
An objects buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?
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.
