Since the spacecraft's fuel supply is mass, then the mass will decrease whenever the engines are started. If the spacecraft collides with space dust or a rock, then the total mass will increase slightly.
Of course, if it's a big rock, the spacecraft may be destroyed in the collision.
What else can I help you with?
Does mass change with temperature change?
Mass does not change with temperature
Does mass change in a physical change?
In this case mass doesn't change.
How much difference is there between the astronauts mass on earth and on the moon?
The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.The mass will hardly change. What changes is the weight.
How do you calculate specific heat?
Change in mass -------------------- Change of water That is change in mass divided by change of water
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Does the moments of Inertia change if center of mass change?
No, the moment of inertia of an object does not change with a change in its center of mass. The moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution and shape of an object, not its center of mass.
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
How does the mass change in a tub with you in it?
Your mass, the mass of the tub and the specific gravity of the water do not change, whether you are in the tub or not.
Does your mass change on the planets?
Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Can an object's mass change?
An object's mass is constant and does not change, unless additional mass is added or removed. The mass of an object is an intrinsic property.
Does the mass of an astronaut change when she or he is visiting the International Space Station?
The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.
