Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.

What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
Does changing the mass change the weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force between two objects (normally the Earth and whatever it is we're weighing). It is directly proportional to mass, so yes: two objects of different mass will have different weights when measured under the same conditions.(Scientists like mass rather than weight because mass doesn't change with location. A 1 kg mass on Earth will still be 1 kg on the Moon or Mars, though its weight there will be less.)
Does mass or weight depend on a objects location?
Yes. Weight does.
What factors determine the force of gravity between two objects?
the mass of the objects and the distance of the objects
Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
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.
Does an objects weight change in space?
Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.
What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
What does mass mean in physic properties?
Mass is a property that gives objects the following:* It provides objects with weight. (Note: weight = mass x gravity) * It provides objects with inertia. The higher the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its velocity.
When the object's weight changes with gravity does the mass stays the same?
Of course the objects mass will not change. Since there is no gravity in space(moon), only the objects weight will change.No matter where the object the mass will stay the same!
Will an object's mass change if taken to space?
No, an objects mass will remain the same no matter where it is. (Its weight will however vary)
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
Does an object on earth have the same mass as it does on the moon yes or no?
Yes. Mass is intrinsic to objects wherever they are. Weight and momentum can change with position.
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
