Yes, it has weight, but less than air's weight.

It's a chemical process so it doesn't have mass.

Yes, as air has weight 1.3 kg per cubic metre and density of gas in the flame of fire 1/4 th density of air. So the weight of flame will be 1.3/4 i.e—0.3 kg per meter cube.

Flame is nothing but highly energized gas molecules, so yeah it does have weight (as molecules have Weight).

Ex FIITJEE and ALLEN FACULTY

Yes, it does have weight.

MBA from MDI Gurgaon, IITian and teaching in schools, institutes and with NGOs for past 8 years

Fire is a chemical process, so it does not weight while Fire's Flame is a complex mixture of particulate solids and gases which are reactive and thus have mass. I hope the answer helps.

Yes, it has mass. If you consider it as electromagnetic wave still it weights due to its motion. Or on the other hand, smokes comes out from flame; it means it has mass.

No, Fire's flame does not have any weight as it's a medium for phase change.

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².
