That is its mass which does not change on earth, moon, or anywhere.

How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?

The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.


Is weight the amount of matter that an object occupies?

No, weight is the amount of force an object exerts on another. For example you push down on the Earth with a weight of approximately 600 Newtons whilst on the moon you would weigh less and in empty space you would weigh nothing. Mass is the amount of matter an object occupies and does not vary with your location.


Which object contains more matter than 15KG?

An object with a mass greater than 15 kg contains more matter. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so any object with a mass higher than 15 kg would contain more matter.


How can an objects weight change if its mass does not?

Weight is affected by gravity, while mass does not. On Earth mass and weight are the same, yet on the moon your weight could be 1/6 of its original, while your mass would stay the same no matter where you go.


What is the definition of the scientific term of mass?

Mass is the amount matter in an object. Mass is usually expressed in grams/pounds. For example, if you had a mass of 100 pounds and you went to the moon, you would still have a mass of 100 pounds, because there is 100 pounds of matter in you. However, your weight, or the gravitational pull on you, would change.

Why is looking at an object not a reliable way to measure how much matter is in an object?

A beeker would measure the amount of matter in an object.


Why your weight but not your mass would change if you landed on mars?

Your weight would change on Mars because gravity is weaker there compared to Earth. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains the same regardless of location. So, your mass would stay the same on Mars, but you would weigh less due to the weaker gravitational pull.


Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?

Your mass will not change, but your weight will.


What unit of measure would you use to measure the amount of matter in an object?

You would use Volume.

What is a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known mass?

That would be the concept of density, which is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed the matter in an object is.


Is the amount of matter and object?

This question is far from clear but it would appear that the answer could be "mass".


What happens to the mass of an object brought from earth to the moon?

The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its location. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change when the object is moved from Earth to the Moon. However, the object's weight would change due to the difference in gravitational pull between Earth and the Moon.

To change the mass of an object what do you add or take away?

To change the mass of an object, you would need to add or remove matter from the object. To increase the mass, you can add more matter such as by attaching additional objects or filling it with a denser material. To decrease the mass, you can remove matter from the object such as by cutting or removing parts of it.
