the mass will always be 50 kg, however, the weight changes depending on different variables. Something that has a weight of 50 kg at sea level will be somewhat lighter in high altitudes, and conversly, something that weighs 50 kg at the peak of Mt Killimanjaro will weigh more at sea level.

If your mass is 45 kg which is about 100 pounds on Earth what will be your mass on Jupiter?
45 kg. The same. Your mass doesn't change on which planet you're on, but your weight does.
What is the metric unit for weight?
Newtons (symbol: N).Do not confuse weight with mass (the unit of mass is the kilogram). Weight is the downward force exerted by a mass because of the pull of gravity.The unit of weight is Kg*m/s2Metric unit for mass is kilograms (kg), however weight is a different measurement defined as force that will act on the object due gravity of a given planet (so it measures in Newtons, N). On Earth your weight is almost the same as your mass (and that is not a coincidence) but on the other planet your mass will remain the same (say 70kg) while your weigh may change dramatically (depending on the gravity of the planet). In the free fall state your weight is zero.
Why is the weight of an object on earth different from its weight on the moon?
Because earth is a larger planet than the moon, it has a stronger gravity. Bigger the planet > Stronger the gravity. That is the rule. Since our moon is a much smaller planet, it has weak gravity, and so the object is not being pulled down as hard, so it reduces the overall mass.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater than earth why?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
Which planet is the lighest weight?
Mercury is the lightest planet, with a mass of 0.055 that of Earth.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
Dan has a mass of 55 kg on Earth. What is his mass on a planet that has twice Earth's gravity?
Dan's mass is the same as it is on Earth. His weight, however, is doubled.
What planet has the greatest weight?
The most massive planet is Jupiter, 318 time the mass of the Earth.
Is it true that the weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume?
This is false. For most practical purposes, ie 'on planet Earth,' the terms 'mass' and 'weight' mean the same thing. Off-planet, mass just equals mass, as weight is a function of gravity.
Dan has mass of 55 kg on earth What is his mass on a planet that has twice earths gravity?
Dan's mass is the same as it is on Earth. His weight, however, is doubled.
How does the mass differs from weight?
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.
How would your weight change on the surface of an Earth-sized planet whose mass were greater than Earth's?
If the planet were the same size as Earth but its mass were some percent greater than Earth's mass, then your weight there would be that same percent greater than it is on Earth. A bathroom scale on that planet might not read exactly the number that I have described ... your apparent weight, as displayed by a bathroom scale, would also be influenced somewhat by the planet's rate of rotation, which might be something different from 15° per Earth-hour of time.
