Is this true or false the weight of a person can change but the mass stays the same?

That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.

What stays the same when weight changes with gravity?
In truth NOTHING will change about whatever is happening in the situation because all it is is no gravity. gravity is what gives you the weight and that is why we have a certain weight.
Does your mass change as you travel to the moon?
No. Your mass stays the same no matter where you are.Your weight however, will change because of the lack of gravity.---The mass won't change as mass is what you are made up of the 'stuff' your are made up of.Only the gravity will change.
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
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!
Where is the weight greater on earthor the moon How about your mass?
1/6 of weight mass stays the same
When a person goes to the moon and back does the mass change or weight?
mass doesn't weight i am not sure but i am pretty certain it stays same
Would a person mass or weight change if that person left the earth and went to the moon?
your mass stays the same. yoir WIEGHT changes
Does your mass change on the planets?
Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.
Would your weight and mass change on the moon?
So if you take your weight then divide it by 6.13 that is your on the moon and your mass stays the same.
True or false An object weight can change depending on gravity?
That is true! Weight is how much gravity is pulling on an object. For example, on the moon, an object will weigh about 6 times less than it does on Earth. Mass, on the other hand, stays the same ALL THE TIME, no matter where you are.
Does the weight of a piece of paper change if you crumple it up?
No it doesn't change at all! Crumpling up the paper only changes the shape it but its weight stays the same.

What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
When you travel from the planet Earth to another place, such as the International Space Station or the moon, your mass would remain the same but your weight would change.
True or false matter always stays the same?
False (E=mc^2 for example...)
Does density of an object change with altitude?
I am assuming that you mean mass of an object. The answer is no, it does not change. Mass (Density) stays the same wherever the object is, only its weight will change if the force of gravity is different.
Does everything have definite mass?
The right answer is yes. This is because your mass always stays the same, the only thing that does change is your weight. Dhaivat
