Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration due to gravity depends on the planet you are on...Earth's acceleration due to gravity is a constant -9.81 m/s^2. The mass, on planet Earth, will always be less than the weight. Weight can be measured in newtons or pounds. Mass is measured in kg.

What is weight in physics?
Weight is gravity's effect on mass. That is why weight is not generally used in science, because it varies slightly at different places on Earth, and differs tremendously on other celestial bodies and is zero in space. Mass is a constant.
If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.
How is mass different from weight?
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 :)
How can one determine mass from weight and what is the relationship between the two?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. To determine mass from weight, you can use the formula: mass weight / acceleration due to gravity. The relationship between mass and weight is that weight is directly proportional to mass, meaning that as the mass of an object increases, its weight also increases.
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

What is the mass of a puppy?
Each puppy is going to be different. Think of mass as being just like weight. A bigger person is going to have a greater weight. It works the same with mass.
Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?
Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.

What is the term for objects that change if the force of gravity changes?
'Weight' weight of an object differs according to the force of gravity.weight means the rate at which the object is accelerated.weight of an object in moon differs by 1/6 that of in earth.In earth also it varies like 9.7 or 9.8 m/s^2 times the mass.
What is the mass of a bullet?
Depends on the composition of the bullet. If it's 100% lead and at STP and 1 G it's mass and weight will be about the same. Move it anywhere where the gravitational force is more or less than 1G and the weight will chance but the mass will remain the same. Lead bullets contain antimony as a hardener...so the mass of a real bullet differs from that described above.
Why does weight depend on the motion of earth?
WEIGHT in scientific terms means product of force of gravitational pull on the body say B1 ,and the accurate mass of the sameobject B1. the gravitational pull differs from region to region on earth.hence............................
What is your mass on other planets?
My mass would be the same on other planets as it is on Earth because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it does not change depending on the location. However, my weight would vary because weight is the result of gravity, which differs on each planet.
If the weight of an object of mass m is mg then the weight of an object of mass 2m is?
The weight of an object of mass 2m is 2mg. Weight is directly proportional to mass, so if you double the mass, you double the weight.
Is mass and weight a force?
Mass and weight are not forces.But weight or a pull of gravity of an object with mass has force
Does air have weight?
Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
