If you measure the mass of a movjng object as it moves through your laboratory,

you'll always find that it has more mass than it had when it was just sitting on the

shelf. The faster it's moving through your laboratory, the greater its mass will be.

It doesn't matter whether it's accelerating or not.

If the mass of an object in space increases what happen to its gravitational attraction to other objects in space?

That also increases.


What are 5 examples of accelerated motion?

A car speeding up as it merges onto a highway. A falling object dropped from a height. A roller coaster racing down a steep slope. A sprinter accelerating out of the starting blocks. A rocket launching into space.


How is the cosmological motion of a distant galaxy fundamentally different from the motion of an object speeding through space?

The object - planet, meteoroid, comet, spaceship - is traveling THROUGH space; the galaxy is moving away WITH space. That is, the space itself is expanding.


What increases when objects molecules increases?

The volume of the object increases when the number of molecules increases because there are more particles occupying a larger space. Additionally, the mass of the object will also increase because there are more molecules present.


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.


In expansion what happens to the volume of an object?

In general, when an object expands, its volume increases. This occurs because expansion involves the individual particles within the object moving further apart from each other, leading to an overall increase in the amount of space the object occupies.


What happens to the buoyant force when the amount of space an object takes up underwater is increased?

If the mass of an object remains constant, and the amount of space underwater it takes up (it displacement) increases, the buoyant force on the object will increase. The object will rise until it regains equilibrium, when it displaces the same mass of water as its own mass.


How does gravity affect an object in space that gets closer to the Earth?

The force between them increases on an exponential curve as they get closer together, and the rate of acceleration also increases in proportion to the force.example:if your objects distance from earths centre is halved, the force between them, and the rate of acceleration, is quadrupled.


Does the density of an object increase or decrease when heated?

When an object is heated, its atoms vibrate faster and take up more space. This leads to a decrease in density, as the mass stays the same but the volume increases.


Can you see volume?

Volume can and is seen. The volume of an object is comprised of the space that it occupies in three dimension. The units of volume are cubic units of space. Volume increases visually, no matter what the material is that is increasing in volume.


What changes when the mass of an object increases while volume stays the same?

Assuming mass does not also increase, then density decreases if volume increases. For example, let's say Mass= 100 and Volume= 50 Density would = 2 Now, lets increase the volume. Mass would still = 100, and let's increase the volume to 75. Density would then equal 1.333... 2 is greater than 1.333.... so yes, density decreases as volume increases.


Is the amount of space an object takes space?

The object's "volume".
