The mass increases. I did this a year ago in a 10th grade lab.

The mass increases, I did this in a lab in seventh and eighth grade, we added 10 mL of water into a container every time we measured and the mass increased.

But:

If you take 10 ml of liquid water and increase it's volume by turning it into a gas then the volume increases with no increase in mass.

Weight is a function of the gravitational interaction between objects. If two objects are interacting (i.e. a person and the earth) and either the mass of the earth or the mass of the person increases then there will be an increase in the weight (gravitational attraction).

~Mass and weight are not the same thing...-.-

If the mass of an object increases, then the weight does not have to increase, depending on the environment. For example, a person who might weigh 100 pounds on Earth could weigh nothing in outer space. But they still have the same mass. Mass ALMOST completely does NOT change.

No, usually it works the other way around; the stronger the gravitational field, the bigger your weight. This is because weight is defined as the force required to stop you from falling deeper into the gravity well. A stronger gravity requires a stronger force to counteract it.

Mass always stays constant.

Weight is a factor of mass and gravity.

If you weighed 240lb on the Earth you would weigh 40lb on the Moon.

Ways to change your weight on Earth include "holding a Balloon, "Buoyancy in water", "Flying a parabolic flight", even climbing a mountain (The further you get from the centre of the Earth the lighter you will be). So, going to the equator, you will be lighter than if you went to the North Pole.

When an object's mass increases, its weight increases too. This is because weight is equivalent to mass times force of gravity, which remains constant.

Yes. Weight of object will reduce if mass is reduced, weight w =mg.

Of course,weight depend on total accelaration toward earth.It can be zero too.

The acceleration of the object increases.


Does gravity affect your weight and mass?

The force of gravity (or acceleration) affects weight but not mass. An object's mass does not change - it is the physical composition of the object. Weight increases as the force of gravity increases and decreases in the same way.


What happens to its gravity as the mass of an object increases?

the gravity increases


What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?

Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.

What happens to the acceleration and force of an object when mass increases?

When mass increases, the force increases (f=ma) and the acceleration decreases (a=F/m).


What happens the mass of an object increases but the volume stays the same?

at constant temperature in a closedcontainer the increase in temperature increases the volume of a gas but not the mass.
