Weight is a force that is caused by gravity. Weightlessness is when you are not experiences the effects of gravity.

Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, while weightlessness is the sensation experienced when an object is in free fall and does not feel the normal force of gravity. In weightlessness, objects and individuals float freely and do not experience the sensation of weight.
An object with no apparent weight experiences weightlessness.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, typically measured in newtons or pounds. Weightlessness, on the other hand, occurs when an object is in free fall and experiences no gravitational force, resulting in a sensation of floating. This often happens in environments like space or during a state of free fall.
Yes, there is a difference between positive and negative g-force. Positive g-force is the sensation of weight pressing down on you, like during takeoff in an airplane. Negative g-force is the sensation of weightlessness or forces pulling you away from an object, like in a roller coaster drop.
Apparent weightlessness occurs when an object is in free fall, making it feel weightless due to the absence of support forces. True weightlessness occurs when an object is at a point in space where the gravitational pull is negligible, resulting in a complete absence of gravitational forces acting on the object.
A scale or balance can be used to measure the weight of items and determine the difference in weight between them. By placing each item on the scale individually and recording the readings, you can calculate the difference in weight between the items accurately.
