What is the weight of a hovercraft?
The weight is diffrent for diffrent models contact a manufatures website for details.
Distinguish between mass density and weight density?
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

Does everything with mass have weight?
Weight= massxg. Therefor, according to the formula, everything having mass will also have weight.
Are Weight and mass are different words for the same property of matter?
False

Why is the mass of an object them same on moon as it is on the earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
The mass can be described - quite informally - as the "amount of substance". This doesn't change - or it hardly changes. Weight, on the other hand, is the product of mass x gravity. Since gravity on the Moon is less (approximately by a factor of 6), you'll also get less weight.

Why is human mass at the North Pole different from the mass at the Equator?
they are diffrent
What is density a measure of?
Density is the mass per volume of an object. Weight and mass are two diffrent things entirely. If you where to travel to the moon or another planet your weight would change just not your mass.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
Is mass and weight a force?
Mass and weight are not forces.But weight or a pull of gravity of an object with mass has force
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
Does air have weight?
Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
Between mass and weight which is dependent on the other?
The weight is dependent on the mass. Mass is the same everywhere but since weight is mass * acceleration due to gravity, weight is the dependent variable.
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
