Maybe. The question is ill-defined as written.

If I take a metal object of known mass, and let it rust in such a way that none of the rust crumbles and falls off the object, the rusty object will indeed have a slightly greater mass than the original object did.

The greater the mass of an object the greater the objects?

The greater the mass of an object means it causes to have weight in a gravitational field.

What will happen if an object has a density greater than water?

If inserted into the water as a solid "blob" then it will sink - unless it dissolves first. But, if because of the shape, the mass of water displaced by whole object is greater than the mass of the object, it will float - just as ships made of metal do.


If Object A and Object B both have the same volume but object B has a greater mass which object is more dense?

object B has greater density recall the formula for density is = mass/volume since volume is the same, a greater mass will give a greater density

Greater the gravitational force it exerts on another object.


Which has greater mass a two inch feather or a one inch eraser?

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight. The greater the weight of an object, the more difficult it would be to lift it. So ask yourself this question: which object is more difficult to lift, an eraser or a car?


What type of reaction occurres when iron has rusted and how does the mass of the object after rusting compare with its original mass?

The mass would be greater


Does mass affect inertia?

inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.


How is an objects mass measured?

the amount of matter that an object contain the more mass an object has the greater its weight


Gravity will have a greater effect on an object with?

"greater mass"


Dose a heavier or lighter object have a greater kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy depends on mass, and speed. Since you can't easily change an object's mass, you would basically change its speed.


What happens to the mass of a speeding object in space?

Recall a fundamental postulate of relativity -- that one can not define the velocity of an object except in reference to a frame. Thus, we can NOT say an object is "speeding" unless we also define against which frame we are making measurements. In an object's own frame, its own mass never changes. In a frame that views such an object as "speeding," the mass of the object will be greater than it is in its own frame. Not "mistaken to be" greater, not "viewed as" greater, not "seems to be" greater, not "appears to be" greater. The mass IS greater in that second frame.
