Can the weight of an object change?

Answer 1

Of course. If it weighs 100 pounds on earth and you take it on a tour of a few

other places, you'll notice when you get to the moon that it weighs 16.3 pounds,

and 35.9 pounds later on Mars.

And that's not even considering the possibility that the object could have watched

its calories and sugar for the past two weeks, or eaten four steaks last night.

Answer 2

The weight of an object can change if you add or take away from it. It can also change if the gravity on itincreases on it because weight is just the amount of gravitational force acting on it.

Answer 3

Yes, the mass of the earth changes when meteors or other extra terrestrial bodies fall onto it. otherwise, it doesnt change at all, even during volcanic eruptions or due to population explotion or anything like that because everything comes from earth and goes back to earth...including you and me.

Technically, the question itself is sort of problematic! you shouldn't use the word "weight", use "mass" instead, because weight is a quantity related to the gravitational pull of earth itself (wich means also related to earths mass).

Answer 4

Weight is defined by the acceleration due to gravity acting on a mass, whereas mass is based on the size of the object.

If you were to move to a region of differing gravitational pull (ie. the moon), your mass would remain constant, while your weight will be lower due to lower gravity.

Answer 5

Answeryes Wrong. Simply changing the shape of something has no affect on it's weight.

Answer 6

yes it can change and there are many ways how

Answer 7

i think.... the more of the object the more it weights. if u take away some of the object ( cut it or eat it) it will reduce the the weight

Answer 8

no
