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.
Multiply the object's mass by the acceleration of gravity in the location where the object is presently. Example: Mass = 5 kilograms Acceleration of gravity on earth = 9.8 m/sec2 Weight = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons. Since the weight depends on the local gravity, the same mass has different weights in different places.
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 :)
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
The weight of an object varies with the gravitational force acting on it. On Earth, the weight of an object is determined by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2) and the mass of the object. In different gravitational fields, such as on the Moon or Mars, the weight of the object would be different.
On or near the Earth's surface, 515 g weighs 5.05 newtons (1pound 2.17ounces). It has a different weight in other places.
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.
Multiply the object's mass by the acceleration of gravity in the location where the object is presently. Example: Mass = 5 kilograms Acceleration of gravity on earth = 9.8 m/sec2 Weight = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons. Since the weight depends on the local gravity, the same mass has different weights in different places.
Weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity = mass(lbs) x 32.1 (ft/s^2) So, mass(lbs) = (weight)/(32.1)
The weight of an object can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2). Therefore, for a mass of 77000 kg, the weight would be 77000 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 755670 N.
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.

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)
