When an object accelerates to close the speed of light does its mass actually change or just its inertia if its mass increases then its gravitational force on objects should increase is this so?

The question hints at an interesting tid-bit that arises in Physics, particularly in regard
to Relativity: The mass of an object figures in to any calculation of its inertia, and also
in to any calculation of the gravitational force between it and any other object. The
question is raised as to whether the object's inertial mass and its gravitational mass are
equal, and according to all the experimental and observational evidence so far, the
answer is yes, they're equal, and we only have to talk about the object's 'mass', without
making the distinction.
Assuming that that's true, then it's the object's 'mass' that increases with its speed,
and the mutual force of gravitational attraction between it and other objects changes
proportionately.

What increases when the gravitational forces increase?
the gravitational forces.Answer:As mass increases the gravitational force increases. Also, as the nearness of the objects increases the gravitational force increases, but this is usually thought of as the distance between the objects decreasing
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
The gravitational between two objects will increase if the?
The magnituide of the gravitational force between two objects will increase if -- the mass of one or both objects increases OR -- the distance between their centers-of-mass decreases.
Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?
If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.
What two objects increase when gravitational force decrease?
Gravity is the force of attraction between all masses in the universe.The magnitude of a gravitational force depends onthe masses of the objectsthe distance between the objectsThe gravitational force between two bodies increases as their masses increase.
What increases when the gravitational forces increase?
the gravitational forces.Answer:As mass increases the gravitational force increases. Also, as the nearness of the objects increases the gravitational force increases, but this is usually thought of as the distance between the objects decreasing
When mass increases its gravitational force decreases right?
Wrong. When the mass of either or both objects increases, then the forces of gravitational attraction between them also increase.
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
What will happen to the gravitational field if the mass of an object increase?
If the mass increases then the gravitational force will also correspondily increase as gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object
The gravitational force between 2 objects increase as mass?
As mass increases.
How does gravitational force between two objects change as you increase mass?
It increases
If gravitational force increases while mass stays the same what will the weight of the object do?
It Will increase
What increases as the temperature of a gas increases?
Increase in temperature is due to increase in: A) Translational K.E B) Rotational K.E C) Gravitational K.E D) Vibrational K.E
The gravitational between two objects will increase if the?
The magnituide of the gravitational force between two objects will increase if -- the mass of one or both objects increases OR -- the distance between their centers-of-mass decreases.
How does weight and surface area affect the frictional force?
As mass increases Surfaces area increase so the gravitational force increase so the friction increase...............
Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?
If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.
What happens to gravitational force as the mass of our body increases?
As the mass of our body increases, the mutual gravitational forces between us and the Earth increase, directly in proportion to the product of the masses. Others may call it "putting on weight", but we like the other description better.
