weight is a measure of the force between two masses, bathroom scales are a good example, multiply your mass in kg * 9.81 = force in newtons, if you are in freefall you are weightless

How is it possible to weigh specimens under zero gravity conditions?
You can measure the mass of your specimen, or the number of matter in it. If you are talking about weight it is not possible, because weight is gravity's effect on that specimen.
How can you measure mass?
Weight them under gravity or calculate from momentum of impact or spring load under centripetal force in space. Then refer the weight or the force to the gravity of earth at 9.81m/s2 and account for its' weight under earth gravity.
The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on what?
Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.
What is the effect of gravity - on the motion of falling objects - that are not inhibited by air resistance?
All objects, under these conditions, will accelerate at the same rate as they fall. (Note: Just the fact that you can call it a "falling" object is one of the effects of gravity.)
What is motion that is under the influence of gravity alone called?
free fall
What does a stingray fall under?
It falls under water and the effect of gravity.
What happens to the weight of the body when it falling freely under the action of gravity?
Nothing. If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.
What two types of motion does projectile motion include?
projectile motion means means the motion of a particle under the effect of gravity after being given some initial velocity by an external force. its path called trajectory is parabolic. so it includes motion in both x and y axes. the difference being that in x axis it is uniform motion and in y axis it is accelerated motion
What should the minimum velocity of water under gravity be?
0 m/s (no motion)
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
What is matter from a nebula that has begun to condense under the weight of gravity to begin the formation of a star?
Matter from a nebula that has begun to condense under the weight of gravity to begin the formation of the star is "dust and gas".
Why does the weight of the man on the moon reduce to one sixth of his weight on earth?
The lack of gravity makes everything lighter in space. On earth, we are under the force of gravity.
