Which depends on gravitational force mass or weight?
The gravitational force exerted on an object by the earth(also called weight of an object) depends on the mass of the object. Force due to gravity = (mass of the object)*g where g is the acceleration due to gravity which for all intensive purposes is relatively constant. g will change very slightly with distance. If you are curious to how g changes: g@an altitude above sea level= [1/(1+altitude/R)^2]*g at sea level Where R= radius of the earth = 6,378.1 Km This can be easily derived from newtons theory of gravitation For example: lets take an altitude close to mount everest, 9Km The acceleration due to gravity at that point will be only 0.3% less than at sea level. Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
When an astronaut lands on the moon what is his mass?
His mass does not change, only his relative weight.
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.
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
Does density of an object change with altitude?
I am assuming that you mean mass of an object. The answer is no, it does not change. Mass (Density) stays the same wherever the object is, only its weight will change if the force of gravity is different.
What is a change that affects the weight of an object?
A change in mass, gravitational force, or elevation can affect the weight of an object. Adding or removing material, altering the surrounding environment, or moving the object to a different location are common factors that can change the weight of an object.
Does altitude and elevation effect your body weight?
Altitude and elevation do not directly affect body weight in terms of actual mass. However, at higher altitudes, the air is thinner, leading to a decrease in air pressure. This can cause individuals to feel lighter or experience decreased appetite due to changes in their body's metabolism and oxygen levels. Additionally, some individuals may experience temporary fluid loss at higher altitudes, which might lead to a slight decrease in weight.
Does elevation affect weight?
Yes... not your mass though. Know the difference between mass and weight. The acceleration of Gravity is less as you get further away from the center of the earth. Which would cause you to weigh less. The equation for the force of gravity is GMm/(R^2). Where G is the universal Gravity Constant wich is something like 6.67x10^(-11) and M is the mass of the earth, and m is the mass of the weight being measured. R is the distance from the center of the earth... which increases as you increase in altitude.
Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
Does mass or weight change?
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
Will the weight of an object change if it changes it state?
No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).
Is 3 tons a measurement of altitude?
No. 3 tons is weight, while altitude is distance from sealevel.

How can you change weight and not the mass?
There is really only 1 way you can change the weight of an object without changing the mass. You must change gravity.
Does your mass change on the planets?
Your mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight will change.
