If you accelerate it close to the speed of light it's mass increases in your frame of reference.

If the mass of an object increases but the volume stays the same what will happen to density?

Density = Mass / VolumeTherefore if the mass increases then the density too will increase in direct proportion.If you're ever stuck on these type of questions it may be helpful sometimes to substitute in some numbers.For example let's pretend the density is "3", the mass is "6" and the volume is "2". So our equation would look like 3 = 6/2. If the mass goes up, let's say from "6" to "8" then in order for our numbers to still equate we would have to increase the value of density (from 3 to 4), i.e. 4 = 8/2.


What are some factors that affect Kinetic Energy?

The main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and velocity of an object. Increasing the mass of an object will increase its kinetic energy, while increasing the velocity of an object will increase its kinetic energy even more significantly. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2.


How does the mass of sliding object affect friction?

The mass of a sliding object does not directly affect friction. Friction is primarily influenced by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force pressing them together. However, in some cases, a heavier object may increase the normal force, which in turn can increase the friction force.


How does the increase in thermal energy of the cylinder relate to the mass of the falling object?

The increase in thermal energy of the cylinder is related to the mass of the falling object through the conservation of energy principle. As the falling object hits the cylinder, some of its gravitational potential energy is converted into thermal energy upon impact. The greater the mass of the falling object, the more thermal energy will be generated in the collision.


Would a massless object fall?

As per Law of Gravitation, there is no gravitational force on a massless object, so it will not accelerate. But mass-less object does not exist. It should have some mass and all objects fall down on earth with same acceleration irrespective of their mass(if air resistance is neglected).

What happens to the amount of kinetic energy a moving object has as the mass of the object increases?

Well, first of all, it's pretty tough to increase the mass of a moving object. The question is fascinating. The quick, easy, and totally wrong answer is: The kinetic energy increases. In order for that to happen mathematically, the speed would have to remain constant. But in order for that to happen, the kinetic energy would have to increase, and unless the moving object has some kind of gas engine, rocket, or rubber-band drive aboard it, there's no way for its kinetic energy to increase. So if an object is zipping along, and it doesn't have rockets on it, and somehow its mass increases ... you still haven't explained how you could do that ... then it's speed must decrease, because there's no place for it to get any more kinetic energy from.


Why does copper's mass increase when heated?

Any object will increase in mass, if you increase its energy (E = mc2). The effect is insignificant under normal circumstances.Apart from that, the mass of copper will not inrease. It will burn at some point and the reslulting compounds will weigh more.


Why is it so hard to stop some objects?

If an object has a large mass, then it is difficult to increase or decrease its speed. F = ma (Newton's Second Law)


How much mass is in an object?

Some objects have more mass, some have less.Some objects have more mass, some have less.Some objects have more mass, some have less.Some objects have more mass, some have less.


It is said that when energy is supplied to a body at the speed of light it is used up to increase its mass. What will happen if the mass of the body is converted into energy?

First, there is no such thing as "conversion from mass to energy".Also, if something is moving exactly at the speed of light, it can only be something that has zero mass (formerly called "rest mass"). For example, it might be photons, or gravitons - particles that can ONLY move at the speed of light. If you provide energy to an object moving at any speed, you will increase its energy - and this increase in energy will also be noticeable as some kind of mass; it will be harder to accelerate the object.


What are some ways to increase force?

One way to increase force is to increase the mass of an object, as force is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). Another way is to increase the acceleration of an object, as force is also directly proportional to acceleration. Additionally, changing the angle or direction of the force vector can also increase the overall force applied in a certain direction.


Is the mass of an object more less when it is hot?

It would stay the same unless some atoms escaped.
