No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is.

The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.

Does mass change depending on where you are?

No. Mass will be the same wherever an object is.


What is the same mass and weight?

The mass of an object doesn't change, no matter where the object goes. The object's weight changes, depending on what other masses are nearby.


The mass of an object can be changed by placing it in an orbiting satellite?

No. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and doesn't change, regardless of the environment into which the object is placed. The weight of an object, however will change depending on the gravity acting upon it.


Can inertia change with mass?

the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so to answer your ? yes inertia changes depending on mass :]


Does a substance change mass if it changes physically?

No. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, and that does not change when the matter changes states. The matter will either contract or expand, depending on the current state and the state to be reached, but that does not change how much matter is in the object.


How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?

It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.


Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?

No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.


What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on earth?

the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change

How does the mass of an object on earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?

there is no change in the mass of body


How does the mass and the object on the earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?

The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
