This is a tricky question. Quantum mechanicss shows us that all energy can be turned into mass and all mass into energy. To work out the equivilant mass of an amount of energy (or vice versa) simply use einsteins famous equation E= mc^2 - rearrange m = E/c^2 I do not know of any device that can directly "weigh energy".

You start to weigh more.


Why does a compressed spring weigh more than an uncompressed spring?

When a spring is compressed, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic potential energy. This added energy increases the overall mass of the spring, making it weigh more than when it is uncompressed.

Does a battery weigh less after completely discharging?

No. A chemical reaction has taken place but mass is conserved.


Do charged batteries weigh more than discharged batteries?

Yes, charged batteries weigh slightly more than discharged batteries due to the additional mass of the stored electrical energy.

No. Some of the material is used up in providing energy and materials for the caterpillar to grow.


Does a wire weigh more according to relativity if electricity flows through it?

Yes. The effect is almost completely negligible but the electrons have more kinetic energy in the wire and this extra energy translates into additional mass.

If energy has mass and mass has weight do we weigh more when we have lots of energy?

The idea is not that energy 'has' mass. The idea is that mass and energy can be directly related to one another in an equation. Also, mass does not always have weight; you can weigh a mass only when the mass is in a gravitational field. Having lots of 'energy' has no affect on your weight. The above stated answer is partly wrong because Einsteins E=MC2 equation qualitatively states that energy in reality does have mass. It is only that the speed of light is so great in term's of numerical value that any change in energy would not effectively affect your total mass. However weight is simply a force so you can not say that if my mass increases on earth i would have the same weight as on the moon for the same weight.
