If I am in an elevator that is traveling upward at constant speed How does weight compare to your normal weight on the ground?
If the elevator's speed is constant (acceleration is zero), regardless of whether it's up or down,then your weight in it is the same as your normal weight on the ground.It should be easy to carry a bathroom scale onto an elevator with you some day and check it out.
When you stand at rest on a bathroom scale how does your weight compare with the support force by the scale?
The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.
Does the weight of an apple increases or decreases or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?
the weight will decrease
Weight change with Altitude or elevation?
Weight changes with altitude, or elevation with respect to the earth. This only happens because the further one is from the planet, the weaker the value of g.
If mass is constant and weight is a force that depends on location why is weight on Earth independent of location?
The gravity on Earth is constant.

What does it mean to say that mass ad weight are proportional to each other?
The weight of an object is its mass multiplied by acceleration due to gravity. If you assume that acceleration due to gravity is a constant then weight would be a constant multiple of mass and the two measures would be proportional. However, gravitational acceleration varies across the earth: depending on latitude and altitude, as well as the density of rocks underneath and other local geological features. So the assumption about it being a constant is not true.
Is 3 tons a measurement of altitude?
No. 3 tons is weight, while altitude is distance from sealevel.
Does the weight of an apple increases or decreases or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?
the weight will decrease
Why is constant weight important?
Yes a constant weight would be important to maintain or gain muscle mass. Constant weight fluctuations are not a good thing, a pound wont matter
How is weight and altitude related?
if your fat then your fat ehh

How Does adding weight to a rocket affect its flight process?
Weight is a killer in terms of altitude.
Could the mass of a lighter object be more than that of a heavier object?
No, unless you compare objects on different planets. Weight = mass x gravity, so if gravity remains constant, more mass means more weight.
