It is first not safe to handle hot objects. Acknowledging this, objects should also not be weighed hot because hot objects emit convection currents that will affect readings on precision balances quite noticeably. It is a misconception that heat will actually affect mass. Mass is conserved, except in nuclear reactions. The mass of an ice cube will be the same as the water that is formed from melting that ice cube (assuming that there is no evaporation). What changes in this case is the density.

Does a hot or cold object weigh more?
wow what a question!! well i don't know but hot air rises so cold would probably weigh more..
Why should you never weigh objects while still hot?
A warm or hot object will create a convection current in the air around the balance pan. This fluctuating force reduces the air pressure on the balance pan and can make it difficult to obtain a stable reading.
What planet makes an object weigh the most?
jupiter is the planet which makes the object's weigh more
Does heat travel from a hot object or cold object?
heat travel from a hot object first then to cold object!
What You weigh the mass of an object you then cut the object in two halfs and weigh the total mass of the two halves is what to the mass of the original object?
it is equal to the mass of the original object

You weigh it.
When object in elevator and elevator is falling downward then gravity is acting on it but why it is said that in this condition object is weightless?
Because when in the falling elevator, if you tried to weigh and object, it would not weigh anything.
When a hot object touches a cool object the particles in the hot object cause the particles in the cool object to?
It causes it to vibrate which causes it to heat up
What happens to the dermis when you touch something hot?
What will happen is that when you touch the hot object the nervous system will send a signal to the brain which will make you react to the hot object and that is what happen when you touch the hot object . Example : a hot stove , a hot light bud, the seat in the summer which is like burning your bum ,and that are some example for hot object...or it will hurt alot
