Would a plane weigh more on the ground or in the air?
Technically, it would weigh the same as long as gravity is constant and mass is constant. Weight is equal to mass times gravity W=mg
Is the mass of a body constant?
Mass of a body is constant
How does the mass vary with acceleration at constant force?
F=ma, force = mass x acceleration. Therefore, more mass means more force is required.
How do you measure mass of objects?
mass = weight ÷ gravity Since the gravitational pull is relatively constant near the surface of the earth, you can weigh the object, then divide the weight by the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/sec2 near the earth's surface).
How do you measure mass of a container?
weigh it

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
What is the formula used to calculate the weight of an object if you are given the mass in kilograms?
Mass is a property of matter and is therefore a constant. Weight however can change, it is the force exerted by that mass in a gravity field. Thus in different gravity fields a constant mass will weigh differently. Weight = Mass * the acceleration of gravity.
Why would you weigh less in an airplane than on a mountaintop?
No, weight changes but mass remains constant irrespective of the surroundings. :)

How does Saturn mass compare to the earth mass?
Yes. Mass is constant. However, you would weigh less on Mars.
Is the mass of a body constant?
Mass of a body is constant
When do you measure mass?
Mass(m) is the product of the gravitational pull, which is constant (g), of the planet or the largest heavenly body nearest to the object to be weighed and it's weight(w). Hence, gravitational constant(g) is the ratio between the MASS of an object and the Weight of the object. While the mass of an object is constant anywhere in the universe, the weight depends on the value of the gravitational constant. Thus, a 1 lb-mass of an object in earth will have the same mass of 1 lb-mass in the moon though they will weigh differently.Mass is measured in kilograms, hectograms , decagrams , grams , decigrams ,centigrams , milligrams.
Is it possible for an objects weight to change while its mass remains constant explain?
Yes, an object's weight can change even if its mass remains constant. This happens if it moves to a place with different gravity. An object on the Moon would weigh only one sixth of what it did on Earth.
What is the diffrerence between mass and weight?
Mass is constant. You have the same amount of mass wherever you are in the Universe. Weight is the affect of gravity acting on your mass. So you weigh 1/6th as much on the Moon because there is less gravity there but you have the same amount of mass as you do on Earth.
Is mass always constant no matter where you are?
as mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body
Does a hot or cold object weigh more?
wow what a question!! well i don't know but hot air rises so cold would probably weigh more..
