If the mass of the earth were to increase, then the forces that attract you and the

earth toward each other would increase. You would say that your weight has

increased. Nobody ever measures the force in the other direction ... the earth's

weight on you ... but we know that the forces are equal in both directions, so

that one would also increase.

When your mass increases what happens to your weight?

If your mass increases, your weight also increases.


What happens to weight as mass increases?

Nothing, "mass" is a property of matter and is constant. Weight is the force of attraction of one mass to another (the affect of gravity on a mass). Thus if weight increases it means that the mass is in a stronger gravity field.


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 graph confirm the relationship between mass and weight on earth?

Yes, on Earth, weight is directly proportional to mass. This means that as an object's mass increases, its weight will also increase accordingly. The relationship between mass and weight is consistent with the gravitational force acting on the object.


What weight change occurs when your mass increases by 2 kg?

Assuming you are on Earth, your weight would increase by approximately 19.6 N (4.4 lbs) when your mass increases by 2 kg, due to the gravitational force acting on the additional mass. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, so any change in mass will affect its weight accordingly.

What happens to gravitational force as the mass of our body increases?

As the mass of our body increases, the mutual gravitational forces between us and the Earth increase, directly in proportion to the product of the masses. Others may call it "putting on weight", but we like the other description better.

What happens to the height of a weight hanging on a copper wire when its heated?

it went up because the mass increases


What happens to the weight of an object if the mass increases?

Oh, dude, if the mass of an object increases, the weight also increases. It's like when you eat too many burgers and suddenly your weight goes up on the scale. So, yeah, more mass means more weight. It's just basic physics, man.

What happens to the weight and mass of an object when the object is moved from earth to mars?

The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.


How do you change an object's mass on earth to its mass on the moon?

The object's mass is the same wherever it is. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the object's weight.The weight depends on what other mass happens to be nearby.When you know the object's weight on earth, multiply that by 0.1633 to find its weight on the moon.If you don't need it that close, it might be easier to just divide the earth weight by 6.
