How can weight be 0 in physics
Answers
Answer:
Weight can be zero when acceleration due to gravity is zero. The value of 'g' is maximum on the surface of the Earth and decreases on going inside the surface or above the surface of the Earth. Thus, the weight of a body will be zero at the centre of the Earth.

Yes it's totally possible. Your weight depends on gravity. The place you are standing, your weight at that time totally depends on with how much force is the gravity of Earth(or any other planet on which you stand) pulling you towards itself.
If you are by any means on a planet which has absolutely zero gravitational force. Then if you place a weight machine(well literally you can't do that in zero gravity) and check your weight, it will say 0 kg.
Let me give you an example of it. This 0 weight thing is also possible on Earth; i.e. when you are free falling.
Suppose you are in a plane wearing a pair of shoes whose sole is actually stuck to weight machine. Initially it will show your weight, but when you jump off the plane then it will show your weight as 0 kg.
Another example will be, suppose you are in an elevator again with a weight machine (Seriously ). If someone snaps the rope of the elevator then the whole mass will free fall including you but if again you are wearing those same pair of shoes. It will still show zero kgs as your weight.
So, it's totally possible even when gravity is present or if there is no gravity there's no question of weight.
