Weight is technically the force that gravity exerts on you. Mass is how much matter you "are". Mass times the acceleration of gravity will equal your weight. Newton discovered that the force of gravity [your weight] is equal to a constant times the mass of the planet times the mass of you all divided by the radius to the center squared. This equation shows that the weight is inversely proportional to the radius to the center squared. Thus, as the radius to the center increases, the weight will decrease. So if you move away, your weight will decrease.
No, gravity pulls ALL matter toward Earth's center. Matter that has greater density simply has a greater weight per unit volume.
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
In truth NOTHING will change about whatever is happening in the situation because all it is is no gravity. gravity is what gives you the weight and that is why we have a certain weight.
It depends where you lean, the weight of you and the backpack, and the distribution of weight within the backpack.
its called theres no gravity
Gravity... :D
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.

Yes. Weight is the force enacted upon a mass in a particular direction. In the case of the earth, gravity pulls everything towards its center.
The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.
weight
The center of gravity of a square pyramidis a point in the pyramid where its weight is assumed to be concentrated.
Yes. Weight is directly proportional to the force of gravity.
Center of gravity is the average position of the distribution of the weight of an object. For objects near the earth's surface, center of gravity is the same location as center of mass. This is because weight and mass are proportional.
Yes. As acceleration due to gravity increases so does the object's weight. The reverse is true when gravity decreases. Mass, however, does NOT change with gravity.
It is a "force" that is directional to the center of a mass (pulling you towards the center of the object) and is referred to as force normal such as the the way the floor pushes back at you to make it feel solid as your weight pushes on it due to gravity.
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
