In 0 gravity the mass of an object comes to be not defines than how can the mass of an object come constant everywhere?

Mass does not depend on gravity. At zero gravity the object will have the same mass as at a higher gravity. What changes is the object's weight. The fact that the object still has mass can be ascertained from its inertia - it will take a force to make it move, or to stop it.Mass does not depend on gravity.

When does mass change?

no, mass is how much of something is in an object. If you go to the moon your mass will be the same. Weight and mass are different. But mass can change if an object is altered, IA person's mass will not be the same after he has had a limb amputated. Still the same person, not the same mass. no its chicken <- whoever wrote that is completely wrong. Mass increases as you the traveling vessel approach the speed of light. If the velocity where to be attained, theoretically mass would equate to infinity in the observers perspective. His description of change in mass is subjective. Technically the arm and lost blood hold the same mass value as did the individual as a whole before the amputation. unless of course the amputation was done via nuclear explosion/fusion :D. On a rudimentary level, mass is dependant only on perspective and relation to surrounding objects. If we were all and always were sumo wrestlers, would we be said wrestler or normal people? perspective. Austin John Charles Mayer mayeraus41@gmail.com


What is to be consider matter an object must have?

An object must have mass and take up space.


What can decrease your mass?

There is a physical law called "conservation of mass"; that means that mass can't just appear or disappear. The only way to decrease mass of any object is to take some part of the object away. - In the case of people, you would use any of several techniques usually known as "losing weight"; but basically, you need to eat less, and do more exercise.


Would a metal object with rust on it have a greater mass than one with out rust?

Maybe. The question is ill-defined as written. If I take a metal object of known mass, and let it rust in such a way that none of the rust crumbles and falls off the object, the rusty object will indeed have a slightly greater mass than the original object did.

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

In general, an object's mass CANNOT change, unless you take something away from it or add something to it.


How can you change mass of an object?

You can add something to an object, or take something away. Other than that, you can't really change an object's mass. Do some reading on "conservation of mass" for more details.


Can you control or choose the mass of an object in an exeriment?

You can't change the mass of an object (unless you add something to it, or take something away). But you can choose an object of the desired mass to carry out the experiment.


What will cause the mass of an object change?

A mass of an object will usually only change if you add something to it, or take something away. According to the Special Theory of Relativity, the mass can also increase if the object moves very fast - at speeds comparable to the speed of light.


What is the mass of a 10 kilogram object on the moon?

10 kilograms, of course. If you take an object to the Moon, its weight will change, but its mass won't.


When can mass change?

Mass can only change when you add mass, or take mass away.According to the Theory of Relativity, if an object has a high speed (comparable to the speed of light), its mass will increase. However, it takes energy and therefore mass to accelerate an object, so the law of conservation of mass is still valid - the mass gained by one object is lost by another object.


Is the density on earth of an object the same on a spaceship?

Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.


Does the mass of the earth ever change?

yes a long time ago the earth have change from lands to other lands in the beginning the was all lava then it start to change and that is how are planet got water and land i bet it will even change in the future too


How do you calculate the densitie of an object?

You take the mass of the object and divide it by the volume.
