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


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

An object with zero mass is more likely than an object with zero weight, since mass is an intrinsic property of matter, whereas weight is a force caused by gravity acting on an object's mass. A zero-weight object would require a lack of gravitational force, which is unlikely in most scenarios.


Can weight be zero physics?

In classical physics, weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. If an object has zero mass, it would not experience weight as weight is proportional to mass. So, for a body to have zero weight, it would need to have zero mass.


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...


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

No, mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of the location. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it can vary depending on the strength of gravity.


Is it possible that a body may have non zero mass but zero weight?

Yes, it is possible for a body to have non-zero mass but zero weight when in free-fall or in a microgravity environment where there is no gravitational force acting on the body. Weight is the force due to gravity acting on an object, and so in the absence of gravity, the body would have zero weight but still have 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.


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.
