How can you tell if the mass in the gum has gone down while chewing it?

Yes. Much of the initial mass of the gum mixes with the chewer's saliva and is swallowed during the chewing process, particularly in the first couple of minutes.

Why does the gums mass decrease when you are chewing on it?
Generally most of gums are generated by sugary material.as on chewing these it dissoles with saliva and the mass decrease slowly.

Why does the mass of chewing gum reduce after you chew it?

Bolus is a round soft mass formed in the mouth after chewing
What if mass and gravity is gone?
No problem. Without mass, gravity has no effect anyway.

Why did the cost of eyeglasses decreased from the 1700s?
Because of the increase in technology, we were able to mass produce them, thus lowering their value. Also, inflation decreased, and the prices of items has gone down.
Does Aluminium's density change when cooled down?
Yes. While the mass will not change, the volume will decrease as the aluminium cools. Consequently the density will increase.
What is the advantage of chewing food rather than swallowing it whole?
Chewing food before swallowing has four important roles: 1) Preparation of bolus to facilitate swallowing Chewing mechanically breaks down large complex food molecules into smaller simpler molecules so that there is an increase in surface area for the action of salivary enzymes (e.g. amylase) to begin digestion (however, digestion in the mouth is minimal compared to the SI). 2) Chewing stimulates salivary flow and hence allows the food to be mixed and lubricated which makes swallowing easier 3) Chewing releases chemicals from food which stimulate taste bud receptors 4) Chewing helps to maintain the structural integrity of the oro-facial tissues (it is through the process of chewing that exercise of our jaws helps to keep them strong and healthy) Chewing before swallowing makes digestion and absorption more efficient as the lubricated bolus is a much smaller mass of food and so nutrients extracted can be absorbed more quickly. Chewing is particularly important for tough food such as red meat than it is for fish, eggs, cheese because these can be broken down in the SI aswell. Red meat is more difficult to break down in the GI tract and this makes it harder to absorb nutrients from it. Hope this helps?
How does gum lose mass?
Bazooka gum loses mass because of the sugar loss. As you chew on the gum you are eating the sugar inside the gum. What you are chewing on is a gum base. Once the sugar is gone all that is left is the gum base, which has no flavor.
