Astudent has two substances at a lab table. one substance is iron pyrite (fool's gold) and the other is real gold. after placing a 20.0-gram sample of iron pyrite into 40.0 ml of water in a graduated cylinder, it displaces 4.0 ml of water. the density of real gold is almost 4 times larger than iron pyrite. if a 20.0-gram sample of real gold is placed into the same amount of water, approximately how much water will be displaced? a) 1 ml b) 4 ml c) 16 ml d) 20 ml

The answer is A) 1 mL 

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
