What would be the effect on mass and the weight of an object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity ofearth?

The mass won't change (except for insignificant effect due to the Theory of Relativity); the weight will be twice as much. I am assuming you mean the gravitational field; that is, the gravitational acceleration will be twice as much.

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
The weight would double, while the mass stayed the same.
What is the force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet?
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is calculated by the product of the mass of the person or object and the gravitational constant acceleration for the planet. For Earth, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m / s^2.
What affects an objects weight?
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. An object's weight/gravity increases with its mass, and decreases with its distance from the gravity producer (for example, planet Earth).
Can an object have zero weight?
Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity. An object has zero weight in outer space. No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person's or object's what?
weight
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object

How does the planet's gravity effect it?
I makes the planet spheical in shape.
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planet's force of gravity were stronger than the object's inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What is the downward pull on an object resting on a planet?
gravity
What is the force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet called?
We would call it the person or object's "weight" on that planet.
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object weas taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
Mass is not affected by gravity, so it would have the same mass. Weight, on the other hand, is affected by gravity, and would double when on the planet as compared to when it is on Earth (w=mg, where w=weight, m=mass, g=gravitational acceleration also called strength of gravity)
What is the effect of gravity on the planets?
simple, the larger the planet, the greater the force of gravity.
