Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity on an object.
An object normally has a constant mass, but weight varies with gravity. An object in space will have no weight, but still have the same mass.
1. Weight changes in different places but mass stays the same. 2. mass is the amount of material in an object and weight is the gravitational pull. 3. Weight is measured in newtons and mass is measured in grams
Mass is static. Weight depends on factors like gravity and should be expressed in force, not mass. Example: A person that weight 80KG (mass), weighs differently (weight) on different parts of the planet (because gravity is different on different parts of the planet). You can easily test it with a very high precision scale :)
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
The relationship between mass and weight is that mass is constant in any environment, whereas weight changes from planet to planet because the gravitational pull is different, from which the weight depends on.
1). Mass doesn't depend on what else is nearby, but weight does. 2). Mass doesn't change when it goes to different planets, but weight does. 3). Mass and weight are measured in different units and have different physical dimensions. 4). Weight is widely understood by nearly everybody, but mass isn't.
Yes. Weight depends on gravity, so mass remains the same.

The reason you can not use just mass or volume to identify something is because they mean 2 different things for 2 different things. The mass is the weight of something, while the volume is the space something takes up.
Weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity = mass(lbs) x 32.1 (ft/s^2) So, mass(lbs) = (weight)/(32.1)

That would depend on where the person is at. Different celestial bodies have different accelerations due to gravity, which affects the weight. If the assumption is that the person is on Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m s-2: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity 500 Newtons = mass x 9.81 m s-2 mass = 500 / 9.81 = 51 kilograms Note that mass is constant, no matter where the object in question is. Weight, however, depends on the location of the object.
The Newton - weight is measured in force. mass*gravity = weight mass (kg) gravity (m/s^2) weight in (N)
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
Weight = Mass X (acceleration due to gravity), which on Earth is 9.8m/s^2.
The Newton - weight is measured in force. mass*gravity = weight mass (kg) gravity (m/s^2) weight in (N)
Two ways to find the mass of an object:1). Compare it with an object whose mass is known, for example on a balance scale, using a set of calibrated masses.2). Weigh the unknown mass. Since we know the acceleration of gravity on earth (9.8 meters/32.2 feet per second2), we can divide the weight by the acceleration of gravity to find the mass.
