The weight of 120g of mass, on or near the earth's surface, is (0.12 x 9.8) = 1.18 newtons (rounded)
It would be about 0.2 newton on the surface of the moon.
In a spacecraft moving at a constant speed, the same 120g would weigh zero.
1200 milligrams is the mass in this case. To get the weight, multiply the mass by gravity.
A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. A person whose mass is 285 pounds will weigh 1267 Newtons.
The mass of a person who weighs 400 N can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass * gravity, where gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, mass = weight / gravity, which gives a mass of about 40.8 kg for a person who weighs 400 N.
Gross mass refers to the total weight of an object including its packaging or container, while net mass refers to the weight of the object alone without any packaging or container. Net mass is the actual weight of the object, whereas gross mass includes the weight of the object plus any additional materials.
To calculate the force exerted by a person on the floor, we can use Newton's second law of motion: force = mass × acceleration. In this case, the mass would be the person's weight (mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity), and the acceleration would be the force of gravity acting on the person (acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2). By multiplying the person's weight by the acceleration due to gravity, we can determine the force exerted by the person on the floor.
At the surface of the earth, mass = weight, so 1200 mg weight = 1200 mg mass
1200 milligrams is the mass in this case. To get the weight, multiply the mass by gravity.

A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. A person whose mass is 117 pounds will weigh 520 Newtons.
A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. A person whose mass is 285 pounds will weigh 1267 Newtons.
To find the mass of an object, you can use the formula ( \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{gravity} ). On Earth, the gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s², so a weight of 1200 newtons corresponds to a mass of about 122.4 kg (1200 N ÷ 9.81 m/s²). On the Moon, where the gravitational acceleration is about 1.62 m/s², the weight of that same mass would be approximately 199.3 newtons (122.4 kg × 1.62 m/s²).
The unit of weight is the newton, since a weight is a force. However, when people say "weight" they often mean "mass" (or confuse weight with mass); and it is common to talk about a person's mass (or incorrectly, a person's "weight") in kilograms.
The mass of a person is MEASURED in kilograms. A mass cannot be weighed, and a person's weight is measured in Newtons.
weight is mass times acceleration. If the acceleration is zero, e.g. weightless in space, then the mass you have is still the same, but since there is no acceleration, there is no weight. Experiment. If you attach a small mass to a spring balance, then while you are lifting it, the weight will increase.
No- their weight is less, but mass is not changed.
