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.

Why is a loss or gain in mass of less than 0.01 grams considered to be insignificant change in mass?

That depends on the scale you're working in. If you are working with kilo grams the change is insignificant, but if you're working with 1,00 grams the change is significant.


What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?

More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).


What happens to the mass when a gas or liquid is heated?

The amount of mass does not change. The energy contained by the fixed mass increases.


When you cool a liquid will it become lighter?

Apart from insignificant effects due to the Special Theory of Relativity (less energy implies less mass), there will be no change in the mass, and therefore no change in the weight. The density of a liquid, however, will change, since the volume changes.


Is there any difference between the mass and the weight if they were at both the north pole and at the equator?

Mass would be the same at the equator and at the pole - except for an insignificant change due to the General Theory of Relativity. Weight would be more at the pole.


Does mass change on other planets due to gravity?

No. Except for insignificant effects related to Special Relativity, the mass remains constant. The weight, on the other hand, changes. Weight is calcualted as: weight = mass x gravity Where "gravity" is the acceleration due to gravity.


Which contains so little mass that it is insignificant Of the atoms three components?

electrons


How does a plane's gravity change the path of a space probe?

Any such change would be insignificant.


What is a minor transition?

It basically means a small or insignificant change.


What happens to mass as acceleration increases?

Nothing. The force increases but the mass is constant. However if it gets fast enough the mass will increase ever so slightly and get much higher near the speed of light, according to Einstein's theory of relativity. But at ordinary speeds there is insignificant change


Is earth gravity weaker on a top of a mountain?

Earth's gravity will not change normally on the ground, however yes, you will experience a decreased pull at your height, and you weight will also decrease. If you were to go higher, you would feel the gravity even less!


How do you spell insignificant?

Insignificant is the correct spelling.
