Depend on what exactly do you mean by 'common'. On one hand there are countless photon everywhere which has zero mass. But if you mean everyday objects, then zero weight of cause (free fall, space etc), as I don't think zero mass is even attainable at this scale.

Can a body have zero mass and zero weight?

no


What is the average weight of a shed?

The shed is of zero mass and zero weight


Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?

No. The weight is the mass times the acceleration. W=ma. The weight can be zero if the acceleration is zero, even if the mass is positive. Mass and weight are not the same thing.


What's more likely: an object whose mass is 0, or an object whose weight is 0?

If an object's mass is exactly zero, then the object does not exist. No mass means no atoms. However, an object can have no weight and still have a mass. The weight depends on the gravitational force.


What the difference between mass and weight and how they pertain to gravity?

Mass is the quantitiy of matter. But weight is the force of pull on the mass due to gravity. So mass is invariant where as weight depends on the gravity. If acceleration due to gravity is zero, then weight too becomes zero. So in free space mass exists but weight vanishes.


Which weighs more an orbiting spacecraft or its astronaut?

Weight in orbit would be equal--Zero. The difference would be mass...


Can you lose weight without losing mass?

Not while remaining on the surface of this planet. If you go into space, your mass will not change - but your weight will become zero.


Weight of the moon?

Zero. Its mass, however, is about 7.35 x 1022 kg


What is weightlessness?

Weightlessness is a condition when the magnitude of weight of respective mass becomes zero.


What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?

Your mass in space would be the same as your mass on Earth, but your weight in space would be zero.


Can a mass be zero outside the earth?

Universality is a fundamental principle in physics - the same laws of physics apply everywhere at all times. So if the mass of something on earth is zero (such as the rest mass of a photon), then the mass will be zero everywhere in the universe, disregarding the effects of relativistic mass. Do not confuse mass with weight - mass is invariable - it is the same everywhere. Weight, however, diminishes in proportion to the square of the distance you travel away from the center of planet earth.


Why does fat add weight to your bodies?

Fat has mass, so it adds weight to your body. (If you were weighed in zero gravity, it would weigh nothing, but it still has mass.)
