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)

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person's or object's what?
weight
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on 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

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

The weight would double, while the mass stayed the same.
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.
What do you call The force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet is called?
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 is the force of gravity on a person or object at the surfaces of a planet?
Weight
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.
How do you find the weight of an object if given only the mass and the planet the object is on?
-- In a reference book or on-line, look up the acceleration of gravity on the surface of that planet. -- Multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is. The result is the object's weight in that place.
