If the ball is solid, and remains solid, then in order to increase its volume more material (mass) will have to be added to it. However, if the ball is hollow, then it may grow larger by thinning the walls of the ball and increasing its radius. In this case, no air is allowed to fill the increasing inner volume since that would lead to an increase in mass. This means that there will be a partial vacuum inside the ball, and depending on the strength of the clay, and the outside pressure, the walls may collapse. It would also be possible to increase the size (volume) of a solid ball of clay by reducing the density of the clay. The most common way to do this without magic is to heat it up.

Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?
No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.
Does mass change depending a person's weight?
The weight itself is how much mass is there, so in theory the WEIGHT changes to how much mass there is.
Would your mass change on an airplane mountain top or the beach?
No, weight changes but mass remains constant irrespective of the surroundings.
Does mass and weight change with altitude or elevation?
Mass does not change with changes in altitude or elevation. Weight on the other hand does change. However, on earth the change from sea level to the top of a mountain would be extremely small.
When an astronaut is propelled into space does his mass increase or decrease?
The mass of an astronaut in space does not change, except for the minor changes that occur due to change in exercise and eating. Mass is mass, and represents the amount of material in an object. His weight, however, does change, because weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity, and gravity does indeed change.
Does shaping a ball of dough into a loaf change the shape and mass?
changes the shape but not the mass
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.
Does the mass change?
if the shape changes the mass changes
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
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
Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?
yes the element changes when the atomic mass changes
What is ball clay?
Ball clay is a variety of clay which commonly consists of 20-80 percent kaolinite, 10-25 percent mica, and 6-65 percent quartz. This clay used to be cut into balls of a mass of around 30 pounds.
What changes when you change the mass of a moving object?
Quantities which depend on the mass of an object are its momentum, and kinetic energy.Both change if the mass changes. In addition, if the object's volume doesn't change,then its density also changes.
What is an insignificant change in mass?
Imagine a 500 pound glob of clay. If I took out .0000001 pounds of clay out of it, that would be an insignificant change in mass. Basically, if you take something out of something else and you hardly noticed it, that is an insignificant change.
When you heat a cool substance does the mass or volume change?
No, the mass and volume stay the same but the shape changes. Changes in state never change it's mass but if it changes to gas, the volume is unmeasurable.
What will the mass be after the chemical change?
Total mass never changes.
How can you increase the amount of kinetic energy in a small ball of clay you are throwing at a person?
you can increase the amount of kinetic energy by increasing the mass and the velocity..
When does the weight of a body change?
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
