What happens to the weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to mars?

The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.

What happens to mass and weight of an object when the object is moved from earth to Jupiter?
The mass of an object stays the same no matter where it is, as it still has the same amount of matter in it (the definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object). However, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on. The equation W = m * g where W is the weight, m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the celestial body (which changes from body to body) shows that an object's weight would change with the planet's gravitational acceleration. For example, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is about 25m/s^2. So let's work out the equations with a 100 kg mass. Earth: W=mg W=100kg*9.8m/s^2 W=98 kg/m/s^2 or 98 newtons Jupiter: W=mg W=100kg*25m/s^2 W=250 kg/m/s^2 or 250 newtons So, (250/98 = ~2.5) things weigh about 2.5 times more on Jupiter, but have the same mass.
How would the weight and mass change if you moved from earth to the moon?
First, mass and weight are not the same thing. Second, due to the difference in the gravitational pull of Earth versus the moon, you weigh more on Earth and less on the moon, although your mass stays the same.
How would weight and mass change as you moved from the earth to Jupiter?
Your mass would remain the same, because mass is constant no matter where you may be. However, your weight would shift depending on the gravity pull available.
Would your weight change if you moved from the earth to the moon?
Your MASS (kg) is always the same not matter what the force of gravity. Your WEIGHT (N) however is different as the gravity of whatever planet has an effect on each atom making it heavier or lighter. To answer your question, only your weght would be lighter on the moon.
What would most likely happen if Earth moved closer to the sun?
It would burst up in flames. If earth moved closer to the sun we would all die and suffer of the heat of the sun and also if the earth got closer to the sun earth can most likely melt.
What happens to an object if it is moved from earth to jupiter?
It would be heavier.
What happens to a shadow when the object is moved?
the shadow moves with it.
What happens when force exerted on an object causes the object to move?
The object is moved and energy is transferred.
What is the weight of the object being moved is called?
resistance force.
What event moved the earth off its axis?
when the mars sized object slammed into the early earth and moved its axis and formed our moon.
What happens when an unbalanced acts on an odject?
Statinory object can be moved. Moving object can be stopped. Direction of a moving object can be changed.etc.
What is the Measurement that can vary when an object is moved from the surface of the earth to the surface of the moon or mars?
The weight of an object (i.e. the gravitational force exerted on the object by the planet/moon) can vary, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * m1 * m2 / R^2
Is it true if an object mass will change if you move it from earth to the moon?
Density depends on mass and volume. Neither of those quantities changes when a solid is moved to the moon.
How can the weight of an object change when it is moved?
If you are moving at different altitude the gravity will changes and so the weght will changes
How can weight of an object change when it is moved?

What is the mechanical advantage of a wheel?
The weight of an object is redistributed, making a smaller mass to be moved at any point of energy.
Is mass better to measure than weight?
They are completely different things.The mass of an object is the amount of matter or "stuff" of which the object is composed. It is an intrinsic property of the object itself and it doesn't change, regardless of where the object goes or what kind of environment or conditions it's subjected to.The weight of an object is the force that exists, trying to accelerate the object in one direction.Most often, the force comes about because of the gravitational attraction between the object and another nearby body, such as the earth. If that same object is moved to another gravitational environment ... such as the surface of the moon ... its weight changes.On the International Space Station, either the object has no weight at all, or ... if the station is spinning ... it has a little bit of weight.Which of these is the correct weight ? They all are. Each one is correct in that particular environment, because the weight depends on the environment, whereas the mass is an inherent property of the object, and it doesn't change.
