Can the weight of any substance be less than 0? If no, then what will be the weight of a substance weighing 1kg on earth then what will be the weight of it on moon where the gravity and hence, weight is 1/6 of earths
Dear student,
The weight of a substance cannot be less than zero , it can be either zero or more than zero.
This is because weight depends on mass and acceleration due to gravity , mass cannot be zero and acceleration of gravity can be zero but not less than zero.
The weight of substance weighing 1kg on earth would have a weight = 1 x 10 x 1/6=1.66 N (gmoon=1/6 x gearth)
Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
