Is the mass of an object dependent on its location?

Weight is directly proportional to mass and the acceleration of gravity: W = mg. On Earth, g = 32.2 ft/s2 or 9.8 m/s2. On the moon, it's much less; on Jupiter, it's much more. In space, it's zero.


How does the perfomance increase if one upgrades ones ram from ddr2700 to ddr3200?

There are quite a few factors to include in order to gauge the potential performance increase from upgrading RAM. The performance will slightly increase if one were to upgrade a DDR2700 to a DDR3200.

What is the supranormal period cardiovascular?

Supranormal Period (SNP) is the period during which a slightly smaller than normal stimulus can elicit a propagated response, although the amplitude of the action potential is reduced compared to normal. I'm not sure either as of to how the mechanism of this allows a stimulus lower than threshold can elicit this response.

Does mass change depending on where you are located?

Very slightly. According to the Special Theory of Relativity, more energy implies more mass; if you lift an object up, it will have more energy (potential energy), so there will also be a very slight mass increase.
