Does mass or weight stay the same when gravitational force changes?

Mass stays the same but weight does not. Mass is a measurement of how MUCH of an object there is, so a 5 Kilogram weight is still 5 Kilograms in space, even thought it would be weightless.

How does gravitational force change mass?
Gravitational force does not change the mass (kilograms)of an object. It merely changes the force at which one object is attracted to the other. This means it's weight (newtons) is raised. The formula for weight is Mass x Force of Gravity, which is why thing seem to weigh less on the moon, their mass does not change, only their apparent weight.
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
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.
Why your weight would change if you orbited earth?
Your weight. In the physical sciences, weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object.[1] In space, gravitational forces are lower, while mass remains constant.
Is mass a measure of the gravitational force of a object?
No, mass is the measure of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of gravitational force needed to keep the object grounded.
Is weight measured of the gravitational force on an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
Is the weight of an object gravitational force of an object?
Weight is gravitational force on an objects Mass. Mass don't change when gravity changes but the weight does.
How does the mass of an object relate to its weight?
The mass of an object never changes, the weight of an object changes depending on the gravitational force (or which planet you're on). So on earth, the gravitational field strength is 10, so if your mass is 50kg, your weight is 500N
Does mass and weight change with location because the force of gravity changes?
Mass does not change!!! Whatever the force of gravity, the object contains the same amount of matter. However, weight does change because the gravitational acceleration changes.

Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
What is the gravitational force on mass called?
weight
What does not change when gravitational force changes?
The Mass of a body
How are weight and gravitational force related?
Weight is (acceleration due to gravity) x mass Gravitational force= GM1M2/r2
Name the force that causes all bodies to have weight?
weight = mass *gravitational force.
How is mass and weight related to science?
They both tell how much matter is in a substance or object.
