using spring, standard mass and accelerometer ... acceleration of standard mass is calibrated to measure mass.

Your mass would still be 158 pounds in outer space. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not depend on gravity. Your weight, on the other hand, would be different in outer space because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it, the mass is the amount of matter in the object, and the volume is the amount of space the object occupies. Weight is measured in newtons, mass is measured in kilograms, and volume is measured in cubic meters or cubic centimeters.
Mass is volume multiplied by the density. Volume is the amount of physical space an item takes up. The mass is the amount of atoms that are packed into that space. NOTE: Mass is NOT the same a weight. Weight changes based on gravity. Without taking atoms off/out or adding them in to the same space mass will never change.
Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, measured in cubic units such as liters or cubic meters. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in units such as grams or kilograms. Volume and mass are independent properties of an object, with mass determining how much weight an object has and volume determining how much space it takes up.
Matter can be measured by its mass, which is the amount of material in an object, typically measured in grams or kilograms. Matter can also be measured by its volume, the amount of space it occupies, usually measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or liters.

If an item has mass, then its mass is constant regardless of where it goes ... whether it's on Earth, in the air, on the moon, or in space on its way from one place to another.
Zero is not correct. Your weight may be zero in parts of space, but not in others. Weight, however, is a different thing altogether to mass and it is important not to confuse the two. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and this remains the same.
anything that has mass and takes up space.
If the space is in outer space there can be no gas against which a terminal velocity can occur
hehehe we just finished this in science. the amount of space taken up by and object is it's mass mass is measured in grams mass is different than wieght, for example in space, you are weightless, but you mass stays the same. :)

The unit of mass that is used in space is the same unit of mass that is used on Earth. you can use Kg, g, pounds, tones...
Mass is defined as the quantity of matter in an object. This is measured in grams as the standard unit. Weight is diffrernt than mass! Volume is defined as the amount of space an object takes up. This is measured in liters.
Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.
the amount of matter in a given space; mass per unit volume
It depends what is in that gallon bucket. If its full of platinum it'll be a mite heavier then if it was full of pure vacuum. Its a confused question. Weight is how hard earth's gravity sucks on something. In outer space there is no weight. Mass is how much of stuff is in something - its measured by how much force it takes to accelerate it. In outer space mass remains an important factor in doing anything. And gallons are antique imperial units for volume. The weight or mass of a gallon of something can vary widely depending on the density of the material. From helium to uranium the density of stuff varies a lot.
